Regardless of PC and mobile, in recent years, the malware area has continued to be sophisticated, but the latest case is a malware that pretends to be Android's "System Update".
According to Zimperium's report from the Security Research Institute, the malware was lost in the "System Update" app distributed outside the Google Play Store.If a careless user introduces and executes this app without knowing anything, it seems that at first glance it seems that Google's official system update is implemented, but the user information is sent to the outside behind it.I do malicious function.Use the Google icon to deceive the user to update notifications.
There are a wide variety of data sent to the messenger messages, data -based files, browser bookmarks and search history, contact information, call logs, device information, specific extension files, clipboard data, audio and telephone recording.It extends to regular photography, installed apps, GPU position information, etc.
Malware is also devised that the transmission of images is reduced to the thumbnail size, for example, so that the user does not barre due to the increase in communication charges.
Google has repeatedly emphasized that it is not in the Google Play Store for the Ars Technica inquiry, although it has not given the details of this malware.This is regarded as no genuine app not found in the genuine store.Nevertheless, in the Android OS, users may install apps outside the store, so it goes without saying that the introduction of apps other than the Play Store is at their own risk.
