Angry IT administrator destroys employer's databases; sentenced to 7 years in prison

Han Bing, a former database manager for Lianjia, a major Chinese real estate agency, was given a 7-year prison term for breaking into company computers and erasing data.

Bing is accused of carrying out the conduct in June 2018, when he reportedly accessed the company’s finance system using his administrator rights and “root” account and deleted all previously saved data from two database servers and two application servers.

Large elements of Lianjia’s operations were immediately crippled as a result, leaving tens of thousands of workers without pay for an extended length of time and necessitating a data restoration effort that cost about $30,000.

However, because Lianjia has thousands of offices, employs over 120,000 brokers, owns 51 companies, and has an estimated $6 billion market value, the indirect costs from the firm’s economic disruption were significantly more detrimental.

examination of the staff
H. Bing was one of the five primary suspects in the event involving the data deletion, according to records made public by the court of the People’s Procuratorate of Haidian District, Beijing.

When the administrator refused to reveal his laptop password to the company’s inspectors, suspicions were quickly aroused.

Chinese media outlets who reprinted portions of the disclosed documents explain that “Han Bing stated that his computer had confidential data and the password could only be handed to official authorities, or would only accept entering it personally and being present during the checks.”

The checks were solely carried out to evaluate the response of the five employees who had access to the system because, as the investigators testified in court, they knew that such an operation wouldn’t leave any records on the laptops.

Finally, the experts were able to pinpoint the activity to particular internal IPs and MAC addresses after retrieving access records from the servers. The inspectors even collected WiFi network logs and timestamps, which they afterwards compared against CCTV footage to validate their suspicions.

The forensic expert hired by the company concluded that Bing had wiped the databases using the “shred” and “rm” commands. Rm deletes the files’ symbolic links, whereas shred overwrites the data three times with different patterns to make it unrecoverable.

Unhappy employee?
Unexpectedly, Bing had regularly warned his employer and superiors about security flaws in the finance system, even emailing other administrators to express his concerns.

He was mostly disregarded, nevertheless, as the departmental administrators never gave their approval for the security project he wanted to oversee.

This was supported by the testimony of the director of ethics at Lianjia, who told the court that Han Bing frequently argued with his superiors because he believed his organisational suggestions weren’t valued.

A similar incident occurred in September 2021 when a former employee of a credit union in New York deleted approximately 21.3GB of records in a 40-minute rampage as retaliation for her managers terminating her.

Two million Android malware apps have been discovered on Google Play.

Two million Android malware apps have been discovered on Google Play.

Over two million individuals have been duped into installing new Android malware, phishing, and adware apps that have penetrated the Google Play store.

The programmes, which appear to be helpful utilities and system optimizers but are actually the causes of performance glitches, advertisements, and a degraded user experience, were found by Dr. Web antivirus.

One Dr. Web-illustrated app that has one million downloads is TubeBox, which is still accessible on Google Play as of this writing.

When trying to redeem the collected prizes, TubeBox consistently presents problems, despite promising users money for watching movies and advertisements on the app.

Even customers who successfully complete the final withdrawal stage never actually receive the money, according to the researchers, as the whole thing is just a ploy to keep users on the app as long as possible so they may view adverts and bring in money for the makers.

The following adware applications also showed up on Google Play in October 2022 but were later taken down:

One million downloads of the Bluetooth device auto connect (bt autoconnect group)
USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth drivers (simple things for everyone) Over 100,000 downloads
Bt Autoconnect Group’s Volume, Music Equalizer: 50,000 downloads
(Hippo VPN LLC) Fast Cleaner & Cooling Master – 500 downloads

The aforementioned apps take instructions from Firebase Cloud Messaging and load the websites listed in them, which results in the fraudulent display of advertisements on the affected devices.

The remote operators might also set up an infected device to function as a proxy server in the instance of Fast Cleaner & Cooling Master, which had a low download volume. The threat actors could route their own traffic through the infected device using this proxy server.

Last but not least, Dr. Web came across a number of loan scam apps with an average of 10,000 downloads on Google Play that claimed to have a direct connection to Russian banks and investment companies.

Through malicious advertising on other apps, these apps were marketed as offering assured investment returns. Actually, the apps direct users to phishing websites where their personal data is gathered.

You should always look for bad reviews, carefully read the privacy statement, and visit the developer’s website to verify the legitimacy of an app before downloading it from Google Play.

Generally speaking, try to limit the number of installed apps on your smartphone and occasionally check to make sure Google Play Protect is turned on.
