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.

Nine widely used WiFi routers had 226 vulnerabilities.

Published

Nine widely used WiFi routers had 226 vulnerabilities.

Even when using the most recent firmware, security researchers examined nine widely used WiFi routers and discovered a total of 226 possible vulnerabilities in them.

Millions of people use the tested routers, which are made by Asus, AVM, D-Link, Netgear, Edimax, TP-Link, Synology, and Linksys.

The TP-Link Archer AX6000, which has 32 problems, and the Synology RT-2600ac, which has 30 security flaws, are the two devices with the most vulnerabilities.

The examination process
In partnership with CHIP magazine, researchers at IoT Inspector conducted security tests with a focus on models primarily used by small businesses and residential users.

According to Florian Lukavsky, CTO & Founder at IoT Inspector, “vendors provided them with current models, which were upgraded to the newest firmware version, for Chip’s router review.”

“IoT Inspector automatically examined the firmware versions and searched for more than 5,000 CVEs and other security flaws.”

Although not all defects posed the same risk, the researchers discovered a few widespread issues that impacted the majority of the evaluated models:

The firmware contains an outdated Linux kernel.
stale VPN and multimedia features
over-reliance on BusyBox’s earlier iterations
weak default passwords like “admin” are used
Hardcoded credentials are present in plain text.
Changing the router’s default password when configuring it for the first time is one of the most crucial steps you can take to secure it, according to Jan Wendenburg, CEO of IoT Inspector.

Whether an IoT device is used at home or in a corporate network, changing the password upon first use and turning on automatic updates must be regular procedure, according to Wendenburg.

In addition to manufacturer-introduced vulnerabilities, utilising an IoT device with the adage “plug, play, and forget” poses the greatest risk.
