Google Play Store Google के एंड्रॉइड ऑपरेटिं�� सिस्टम को चलाने वाले उपयोगकर्ताओं के लिए ऐप्स और गेम को इंस्टॉल करने का सबसे सुरक्षित तरीका है, धन्यवाद कंपनी के एंटी-मालवेयर प्रोटेक्शन के लिए जो स्टोर पर अपलोड किए गए ऐप्स को स्कैन करते हैं।  कंपनी गूगल प्ले प्रोटेक्ट, मालवेयर के लिए स्कैन करने का उपकरण भी उपलब्ध कराती है, जिसमें प्ले स्टोर के बाहर स्थापित ऐप भी शामिल हैं।

हालाँकि, Google की सुरक्षा के बावजूद, खतरनाक ऐप्स कभी-कभी उपयोगकर्ताओं के डिवाइसों के माध्यम से खिसकने और संक्रमित होने का प्रबंधन करते हैं, जैसे कि नए Flubot मैलवेयर, जो उपयोगकर्ताओं के पासवर्डों को लोकप्रिय ऐप के रूप में संदेश भेजकर चुराते हैं।  बीबीसी द्वारा वोडाफोन यूके के बाद वायरस की उपस्थिति की सूचना दी गई, थ्री और ईई ने अपने उपयोगकर्ताओं को इसके अस्तित्व के प्रति सचेत किया।

टेक्स्ट संदेश घोटाला एसएमएस के माध्यम से फैलता है और सोशल इंजीनियरिंग पर निर्भर करता है, जो पैकेज डिलीवरी कंपनी के संदेश के रूप में प्रच्छन्न है और उपयोगकर्ताओं को अपनी डिलीवरी को ट्रैक करने के लिए एक ऐप इंस्टॉल करने के लिए कह रहा है।  चूंकि ऐप Google Play Store पर उपलब्ध नहीं है, इसलिए लिंक की गई APK (पैकेज इंस्टॉलर) फ़ाइल को मैन्युअल रूप से डाउनलोड और इंस्टॉल किया जाना चाहिए, कुछ ऐसा जो औसत से बचना चाहिए अगर वे सुरक्षा निहितार्थ को नहीं समझते हैं या एप्लिकेशन के स्रोत पर भरोसा नहीं करते हैं।

ब्रिटेन के राष्ट्रीय साइबर सुरक्षा केंद्र (NCSC) के अनुसार, जो उपयोगकर्ता मैलवेयर से संक्रमित हैं, उन्हें अपने डेटा की सुरक्षा के लिए उचित कदम उठाने होंगे।  हालांकि यह अभी भी स्पष्ट नहीं है कि पासवर्ड और क्रेडेंशियल्स सहित उपयोगकर्ता जानकारी को कैसे आसानी से निकाला जा सकता है, यह सवाल उठाता है कि ऐप को अनइंस्टॉल करने के लिए Google प्ले प्रोटेक्ट कैसे मालवेयर को ध्वजांकित करता है और उपयोगकर्ताओं को संकेत देता है।

हालांकि जो उपयोगकर्ता मालवेयर से प्रभावित होते हैं, उन्हें अपने किसी भी अधिक डेटा को कटने से रोकने के लिए किसी नए खाते में लॉग इन नहीं करना चाहिए, NCSC का कहना है कि उन्हें जल्दी से जल्दी अपने उपकरणों को रीसेट करना होगा - क्योंकि मैलवेयर एक पूर्ण डेटा मिटा नहीं सकता है।  एनसीएससी के अनुसार, फ्लूबोट वायरस को स्थापित करने के बाद उन्हें किसी भी खाते पर पासवर्ड को आदर्श रूप से बदलना चाहिए।

Whether this malware makes it to North America in any significant number or not, the functionality and the devastation already caused in Europe should heighten the call to action for all Android users – to watch out for suspicious messages and to install security software in order to prevent such extremely malicious apps from ever getting on their devices.Netflix is available on many devices. In the unfortunate scenario that the malware was installed on a device and banking or other activity has taken place since the installation took place, then contact the organizations concerned immediately to block access and where necessary change passwords, remembering to make them unique and strong. If you receive an unknown or unexpected SMS message with a clickable link, refrain from clicking the link and instead remove the message.

HOW TO STOP GOOGLE DOWNLOAD ENGLISH UPDATE HOW TO

My colleague, Lukas Stefanko, has produced a short video with helpful instructions on how to remove this and any other malicious app: How to remove FluBotĪ compromised device may need to have the malware removed manually. Also, due to the extensive permissions granted, the threat actor is able to block the installation of many third-party antimalware solutions. The malicious app also disables Google Play Protect to avoid detection by the operating system’s built-in security. SMS messages and notifications from telecom carriers can be intercepted, browser pages can be opened, and overlays to capture credentials can be displayed. The contact list is exfiltrated from the device and sent to servers under the control of the bad actor, providing them with additional personal information and enabling them to unleash further attacks on other potential victims. Once installed and granted the requested permissions, FluBot unleashes a plethora of functionality, including SMS spamming, the theft of credit card numbers and banking credentials, and spyware. An example of the SMS message (in German) and the subsequent prompt to install the app can be seen below: The call to action of the message is for the user to click a link in order to download and install an app that has the same familiar branding as the SMS message but is actually malicious and has the FluBot malware embedded within it. The victim first receives an SMS message that impersonates a popular delivery logistics brand, such as FedEx, DHL, and Correos (in Spain). To avoid removal, the attacker implements mechanisms to stop the built-in protection offered by the Android OS and stops many third-party security software packages from being installed, an action many users would take to remove malicious software. This includes the potential to steal credit card numbers and access credentials to online banking accounts. If a victim is lured by the attacker into the malicious campaign, their entire Android device becomes accessible to the scammer. FluBot and TeaBot are detected by ESET products as variants of the Android/TrojanDropper.Agent family. In recent days, cybercriminals have begun to target Europeans with TeaBot (also known as Anatsa or Toddler), an Android malware family that uses exactly the same technique as FluBot to spread and to lure users into giving up their sensitive data. It’s also worth noting that this advice will help you stay safe from other Android malware strains. Here’s why you should be vigilant, how FluBot operates, and how you can remove this Android nasty from your device.

June 2022: The Most Wanted Malware: MaliBot, New Banking, and Poses Danger to Users of Mobile Banking

The latest Global Threat Index June 2022 shows that MaliBot, a new Android banking malware, is now third in the list of most dangerous mobile malwares. It emerged after the takedown FluBot at May's end.

MaliBot pretends to be cryptocurrency mining apps under different names. It targets mobile banking users in order to steal financial data. MaliBot is similar to FluBot and uses phishing SMS messages (smishing), to lure victims to click on malicious links that will redirect them to a fake application.

Emotet, the most widespread malware overall, remains the most popular malware this month. Snake Keylogger is now in third place after an increase in activity from last month's eighth position. Snake Keylogger's primary function is to track keystrokes of users and send collected data to threat agents. Snake Keylogger was first delivered to us via PDF files in May. However, it has now been distributed through email attachments with Word attachments that are tagged as requests of quotations. Researchers also reported on a new variant of Emotet that targets Chrome browser users and has credit card theft capabilities.

Although it is always a good thing to see law enforcement succeed in taking down cybercrime groups and malwares such as FluBot, it wasn't long before a new mobile malware took its place. Cybercriminals know the importance of mobile devices in people's lives and they are constantly adapting their strategies to meet this reality. Mobile malware poses a serious threat to both enterprise and personal security. A robust mobile threat prevention solution is essential.

We also revealed this month that "Apache Log4j remote code execution" is the most exploited vulnerability. It affects 43% of all organizations globally. Web Server Exposed Git Repository information disclosure has a 42.3% global impact. With a global impact at 42.1%, "Web Servers Malicious URL Directory Traversal” is third.

Top Malware Family

*The arrows indicate the change in rank relative to the previous month.

Emotet continues to be the most widely used malware, with 14% global impact. Formbook and Snake Keylogger each have 4.4% impact on organizations around the world.

Emotet     Emotet is a modular, advanced and self-propagating Trojan. Emotet was     originally used to distribute banking Trojans, but it is now used to     distribute other malware and malicious campaigns. Emotet uses     multiple methods to maintain persistence and evade detection. It can     also be spread via phishing spam email attachments and links.

– Formbook - Formbook is an Infostealer     that targets the Windows OS. It was first discovered in 2016. For its     strong evasion techniques, low price and high market appeal, it is called     Malware-as-a-Service or MaaS (Malware-as-a-Service) in underground hacking     forums. FormBook collects credentials from different web browsers,     logs keystrokes, monitors and logs them, and can then download and execute     files according its C&C.

Snake     Keylogger - Snake is a modular .NET keylogger and credential stealer first     spotted in late November 2020. It records keystrokes of users and     sends the collected data to threat actors. The malware is extremely     persistent and evasive, and can steal sensitive information from users.

Agent     Tesla - Agent Tesla is an advanced RAT functioning as a keylogger and     information stealer, which is capable of monitoring and collecting the     victim's keyboard input, system keyboard, taking screenshots, and     exfiltrating credentials to a variety of software installed on a victim's     machine (including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and the Microsoft     Outlook email client).

XMRig -     XMRig is open-source CPU mining software used to mine the Monero     cryptocurrency. This open-source software is often used by threat     actors to illegally mine victims' computers.

Remcos -     Remcos is a RAT that first appeared in the wild in 2016. Remcos     spreads itself via malicious Microsoft Office documents that are attached     to SPAM email. It is designed to bypass Microsoft Windows UAC security to     execute malware with high-level privileges.

Phorpiex -     Phorpiex is a botnet (aka Trik) and has been since 2010. It     controlled over a million infected hosts at its peak. It is     well-known for spreading other malware families via spam attacks, as well     as fueling large spam and sextortion operations.

Ramnit -     Ramnit is a modular banking Trojan first discovered in 2010. Ramnit     uses web session information to steal victim account credentials. This     includes corporate and social network accounts as well as bank     accounts. To contact the C&C server, and to download additional     modules, the Trojan uses both hardcoded domains and domains generated     using a DGA (Domain Generation Algorithm).

Glupteba -     Glupteba is a backdoor which gradually matured into a botnet. It had     a C&C address updating mechanism via public Bitcoin lists, a browser     stealer capability, and a router exploiter by 2019.

NJRat -     NJRat is a remote accesses Trojan, used both by Crimeware and State     attackers. The Trojan was first discovered in 2012 and can capture     keystrokes, view the victim's desktop, steal credentials from browsers,     download and upload files, perform file manipulations and process     them. NJRat spreads via phishing attacks, drive-by downloads and     other means. It also has the ability to infect victims through infected     USB keys and networked drives with the help of Command & Control     software.

Police bust ‘FluBot’ cell phone scam

A mobile phone scam dubbed FluBot has been busted by the police of 11 countries that spread around the world via fake text messages, Dutch and EU police said.

Dutch cybercops led an operation in May targeting the malware, which infects Android phones using texts which pretend to be from a parcel firm or which say a person has a voicemail waiting.

Hackers would then steal bank details from infected phones, which automatically sent messages to other mobiles in the user’s contact list, passing on the scam like a flu virus.

 “To date, we have disconnected ten thousand victims from the FluBot network and prevented over 6.5 million spam text messages,” Dutch police said in a statement.

The EU’s police agency Europol said FluBot was among “the fastest-spreading mobile malware to date” and was “able to spread like wildfire due to its ability to access an infected smartphone’s contacts.” Police had made the malware “inactive” but are still hunting the culprits, it said.

 “This FluBot infrastructure is now under the control of law enforcement, putting a stop to the destructive spiral,” Europol said.

The countries involved in carrying out the investigation were Australia, the United States, Belgium, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, coordinated by Europol’s cybercrime centre.

FluBot became one of the world’s most notorious cyberscams after it first emerged in December 2020, “wreaking havoc” around the world, Europol said.

The agency said the bug had compromised a “huge number of devices worldwide”, especially in Europe and the United States, with “major incidents” in Spain and Finland. Australian media said last year that FluBot was spreading “like a tsunami” with some users being bombarded by texts.
