Faith opens the door to cybercriminals.
Nigeria has a vibrant religious landscape with many different faiths forming the country. But the significant influence of religion in the country also provides fertile ground for social engineering attacks against both ordinary users and organizations.
Symantec discovered a campaign in which attackers distribute a fake mobile application related to the Koran (AssunnahQuranApp. apk) to infect users.
The malicious application is actually a disguised AndroRAT, a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) for Android that works on a client-server model, allowing you to remotely control the victim's phone after installation. Features include access to location data, call logs, and contacts, as well as sending SMS messages and taking photos.
Earlier, we wrote that fake applications are being distributed among Android users, which, in addition to the promised functions, come with the implanted CapraRAT Trojan, a modified version of AndroRAT with open source code.
The backdoor is equipped with an extensive set of functions that allow you to take screenshots and photos, record phone calls and ambient sound, and extract other confidential information. It can also make calls, send SMS messages, and receive commands to upload files.
