Check Point exposes Android malware vendor using dark net to rebrand products

Check Point exposes Android malware vendor using dark net to rebrand products 13 Jan 2021 Check Point security researchers have exposed an Android malware vendor using a marketer on the dark net to rebrand its products, with the intention of supercharging business and throwing off security vendors. The malware vendor, which goes by the name “Triangulum”, first joined the dark net in early 2017. Triangulum’s initial product was a mobile RAT (remote access trojan), capable of data exfiltration from C&C servers and destroying local data – even deleting entire operating systems. Four months later, Triangulum began to offer its first android malware for sale, Check Point says.

Mobile RAT for Android Offered on Darknet Forums

An underground advertisement for the Rogue mobile remote access Trojan (Source: Check Point Research) A recently identified mobile remote access Trojan dubbed Rogue, which exploits Google s Firebase development platform, targets Android devices to exfiltrate personal data and can deliver other malware, according to the security firm Check Point Research. The Rogue RAT is being offered for sale or rent in darknet forums, Check Point says in its new report. Once a hacker uses the Trojan, portrayed to victims as a legitimate app, to infect a device, the malware can exfiltrate data, such as photos, location information, contacts and messages. It also can download additional malicious payloads, including mobile ransomware.

Spyware targets phones of dozens of Al-Jazeera journalists

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Dozens of journalists at Al-Jazeera, the Qatari state-owned media company, have been targeted by advanced spyware in an attack likely linked to the governments of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, a cybersecurity watchdog says. Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto said Sunday that it had traced malware infecting the personal phones of 36 Al-Jazeera journalists, producers, anchors and executives back to the Israel-based NSO Group, which has been widely condemned for selling spyware to repressive governments. Most unnerving to the investigators was that iMessages were infecting targeted Apple iPhones without the users taking any action what’s known as a zero-click vulnerability. Through push notifications alone, the malware instructed the phones to upload their content to servers linked to the NSO Group, Citizen Lab said, turning journalists’ iPhones into powerful surveillance tools without their even having clicked on suspicious
