HACK NEWS:: Android Root Malware Common in Third Party App Stores

Trend Micro, found about 1,163 android APK’s contain malware’s with name as ANDROIDOS_ LIBSKIN.A. The security company also claimed that between January 29 and February 1, apps containing this malware have been download in 169 countries and surprisingly found on the popular third party app stores, Mobile9, Mobogenie, 9Apps and Aptoide. The security company said that they have contacted these third party app stores and informed them about the malware’s in their apps but they didn’t received any response from their side.

Security Experts also had warned users to not download any app from third party app stores because they may not monitor the quality control as Google’s Play Store.

When you download any app in android from unknown source, your device notifies you whether you want to allow permissions for this app. Also, if you want to secure your device, you must download apps from only Google Play Store. Google monitors app greatly while as third party sites don’t monitor the apps they offer through their websites.


However, the question arises, Why people download apps from third party app stores when they have Google Play Store. The answer its that these malicious apps lure users in order to get more and more downloads from the users.

Also, my friend complained me that his device is filled with unnecessary apps and sometimes he find apps having porn images displayed. Later, he informed me that he always downloads apps from third party app sites. I later asked him why you download apps from third party sites, he said I am using 2G Internet pack, so Google Play Store doesn’t get properly loaded, that’s why I choose third party sites. There are several reasons why users download apps from third party sites.

The malware also fetches data, like the device ID, network and the other apps running on the device and more.

Russian Hackers Manipulate Ruble-Dollar Exchange Rate with Malware

http://computerguruslodge.blogspot.com/

Russian Group of Hackers reportedly cracked into the Kazan-based Energobank and messed up with the Ruble-Dollar exchange rates.

In Feb 2015, a hacking group, known by the name METEL, successfully breached into the Russian Regional Bank for just 14 minutes and caused the exchange rate to fluctuate between 55 and 66 rubles per dollar, which finally resulted in the increment of Ruble’s value.

Here's how they did it:

According to Russian security firm, Group-IB, who investigated the incident, the Metel Hacking group infected Kazan-based Energobank with a virus known as the Corkow Trojan and placed more than $500 million in orders at non-market rates.

    “This is the first documented attack using this virus, and it has the potential to do much more damage,” Dmitry Volkov, the head of Group-IB’s cyber intelligence department, told Bloomberg.

The hackers had taken the advantage of Spear Phishing Technique, which appears to come from a legit source. A single click on the link in the malicious mail took over the access to the system followed by ultimate exploitation.

After gaining the access to a local system, the trojan was able to cause a havoc deepening the attack to its Intranet. This way, the malware named Corkow found the isolated system which handles the money transaction exclusively to the outer world.

Corkow malware, initially discovered in 2011, regularly updates itself to evade detection by antivirus programs, and has infiltrated more than 250,000 computers worldwide and infected at least 100 financial institutions.

Bank lost 244 Million Rubles ($3.2 million)

The Energobank claimed losses of 244 million rubles ($3.2 million) due to the trades.

But, the Moscow Exchange had denied the allegations of any hacking attempt by the fact that; the changes in the Stock Market would be an output of Trader’s mistakes. They also not found any hint of currency manipulation.

The attack was earlier ported to target ATMs of Russia, affecting Russian bank card system that resulted in hundreds of millions of rubles being stolen via ATMs in August. Another attack with the same malware also facilitated hackers to use credit card limitlessly.

Metel is only known to be active in Russia (affected 73% Russian Banks), although it may present a threat to financial institutions across the globe.

Authority has not yet handcuffed any of its criminals who are raising a global bank threat.

#2 Google 2 step verification

This is a very secure and safe process that keeps your Gmail account protected from various disasters. The users are provided with a one-time login code to a secondary device through text or Google authentication app. But the text is best. The secondary device can be mobile, laptop or any other device. In order to access your Gmail account, the hackers should identify the security code for the secondary devices also. This code can be numbers or any other thing.

#3 Stay out of the spam/phishing messages

Try to avoid the spam or phishing folders. The most malicious emails contain the subject line as:

• Your money is waiting
• Claim your reward
• Get back to me

Also, you can receive some messages with the subject line as ‘Your Amazon. Com order has been shipped’. To keep the Gmail account safe, you can use the unique account for Amazon, e-bay and do not open those emails which you receive in another account.

#5 Account recovery option: Keep the mobile number up-to-date

It is advised to keep the mobile number current because Google sends the security code in your mobile number. In case your account number is hacked then they should know your current phone number what Google uses to send the security code.

The longer password can better protect your Gmail account. Do not use any words in the passwords that can be found in the dictionary. Try to use #, *, $ in the password to make it strong and safe.

#10 Incognito

8. Hacker’s keyboard
   Hacker’s keyboard is a free keyboard replacement app that is designed to fully mimic a physical keyboard so you don’t have to learn a new keyboard layout and get confuse over the position of each character.
   Just like the standard keyboard, it has Ctrl, Tab, Alt, Esc and arrow keys. This is particularly useful for anyone who works with coding on their phones or tablets. One thing it doesn’t come with is the auto-correct feature. If you rely a lot on this feature, then this keyboard is not for you.

9. Thumb Keyboard
   Thumb Keyboard is a flexible keyboard that introduces a revolutionary and innovative “split” layout for Android tablets and phones. Like its name suggests, it splits the keyboard in two, so you can reach all the keys with only your thumbs. You will also find a standard layout, which you can switch to by simply tapping the Tablet button between the spacebars.
   You can adjust the size of the keyboard according to the screen size. You can also theme the keyboard and even use your own background. This keyboard comes with more than 25 different themes to choose from, all of which are customizable to fit your needs.

Android or Windows Operating System – Which is Better?

Of corse, the Apple iPhone has always been a favourite with many, but there are other options, including getting yourself a shiny new Windows Phone or, instead, a Google Android-powered device. Either route will deliver plenty of innovative and intuitive usability, and depending on the model you select, these phones can be picked up for a competitive price tag too. So, how do you pick the right one?

There are plenty of smartphones out there in the marketplace all vying for your attention and hoping to persuade you to part with your hard-earned cash and start making the most of going mobile. However, with competition between operating systems and phone manufacturers hotting up, which is the best handset for your needs?

Windows or Android?
