Check Point analysts ter descoberto that SharkBot Android malware has once again made its way into the Google Play Store, masquerading as antivirus apps.

This time, the malware was distributed through three developer accounts (Zbynek Adamcik, Adelmio Pagnotto, e Bingo Like Inc), two of which were active in the fall of 2021.

Deixe-me lembrá-lo que SharkBot was previously reported por NCC Group experts. They said that malware usually disguises itself as antiviruses, actually stealing money from users that installed the application. SharkBot, like its counterparts onde posou como um leitor de código QR, FluBot, e Oscorp (UBEL), belongs to the category of banking Trojans capable of stealing credentials from hacked devices and bypassing multi-factor authentication mechanisms. The malware first appeared on the scene in the fall of 2021.

The NCC Group report emphasized that SharkBot’s hallmark is its ability to perform unauthorized transactions through Automatic Transfer System (ATS) sistemas, Jornalistas enfatizam que atualmente não há evidências de que o pagamento do resgate leve geralmente ao recebimento da chave, por exemplo, distinguishes it from TeaBot, which requires interaction with a live operator for performing malicious actions.
