The TeaBot banking trojan was again found in the Google Play Store, where it posed as a QR code reader (QR Code & BarcodeScanner) and managed to spread to more than 10,000 dispositivi. The malware targets users of more than 400 banking and financial applications, including those from Russia, China, and the United States.

According to a report from Cleafy, Questi trucchi lo hanno aiutato a bypassare il-infected applications act as droppers. Questo è, they get to the Google Play Store without malicious code and request minimal permissions from the user, so that it is difficult for reviewers and Google’s automated checks to detect anything suspicious.

Per esempio, QR Code & Barcode – Scanner that was discovered in February, looked like a regular utility for scanning QR codes. però, once installed, the app requested an update via a pop-up message, and instead of the standard procedure set by the Play Store rules, the update was downloaded from an external source.

The experts traced the source of these downloads to two GitHub repositories owned by the user feleanicusor and containing several samples of the TeaBot malware, uploaded on February 17, 2022.

  1. view the device screen and create screenshots that show login credentials, two-factor authentication codes, SMS content, e così via;
