SimBad, el malware para Android presente en  206 apps en Google Play

Los investigadores de seguridad del equipo Mobile Threat de CheckPoint han descubierto una nueva campaña de adware en la plataforma Google Play Store. El malware, llamado SimBad, fue encontrado en 206 aplicaciones del market y ha recibido casi 150 millones de descargas entre todas ellas.

Provoca una campaña masiva de ‘adware’ móvil por medio del cual se muestran anuncios fuera de la aplicación sin que exista posibilidad de desinstalar dichas aplicaciones.

Ya ha descubiarto como se producía  al incluir SDK o kit de desarrollo de software RXDrioder, proporcionado por addroider[.]com como un SDK relacionado con anuncios, el que incorporaría el código malicioso a las aplicaciones desarrolladas con él.

Simbad es una vulnerabilidad descubierta por Check Point Software Technologies, empresa especializada en ciberseguridad, que puede provocar desde la aparición de cientos de anuncios, en el momento que se instala cualquier aplicación que contenga este ‘adware’, hasta el robo de los datos personales de la víctima, a través de estas ‘apps’.

Las actividades que SimBad puede desarrollar se dividen en tres grupos: la muestra de anuncios, ‘phishing’ -suplantación de una fuente legítima-, y la exposición de estos datos a otras aplicaciones. Este sistema consigue abrir una ‘url’ en un navegador, ya que el criminal detrás de este ataque genera páginas de ‘phising’ que abre en el navegador del usuario.

El atacante detrás del virus es capaz de aumentar sus beneficios abriendo las aplicaciones infectadas a través de una búsqueda mediante un palabra clave. Asimismo, puede instalar una ‘app’ para uso remoto desde un servidor a través de la cual lanzará nuevos elementos de ‘malware’.

Las 206 aplicaciones infectadas –principalmente simuladores– utilizan un Kit de Desarrollo de Software (SDK) malicioso para llevar a cabo estas operaciones, explica Check Point, y muestran características comunes como anuncios fuera de las aplicaciones, apertura constante de Google Play, inicio del navegador con enlaces generados por el desarrollador, ocultación su icono de inicio, o descarga archivos APK.

Aunque las aplicaciones se han identificado para Android, también están disponibles para iOS. Por ello, los usuarios Apple infectados deberán acceder al ‘Menú de Ajustes’, ir a ‘Safari’, en la lista de opciones seleccionar ‘bloquear pop-ups’, tras lo cual deberán ir a ‘Avanzado’, acceder a ‘Datos Website’, y una vez allí borrar todas las páginas que no sean conocidas.

Google ha eliminado de su tienda todas las aplicaciones afectadas tras recibir el aviso. Sin embargo es posible que estas aplicaciones maliciosas se encuentren disponibles en otros markets. Si tu smartphone tiene estos síntomas. por favor revisa las últimas apps instaladas y elimínalas. Debesacceder al ‘Menú de Ajustes’, seleccionar el ‘Gestor de Aplicaciones’, ir hasta la aplicación sospechosa y desinstalarla. En el caso de que no se encuentre, deberán borrar todas las aplicaciones instaladas recientemente.
