To avoid early detection or being denied access to the PlayStore, \u2018Fast Cleaner\u2019 was disseminated before the malware was placed on the remote server, making it hard for Google to determine that such an app is being used for malicious actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce up and running on a victim\u2019s device, Xenomorph can harvest device information and Short Messaging Service, intercept notifications and new SMS messages, perform overlay attacks, and prevent users from uninstalling it. The threat also asks for Accessibility Services privileges, which allow it to grant itself further permissions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the commission\u2019s CSIRT, the malware stole victims\u2019 banking credentials by overlaying fake login pages on top of legitimate ones and since it could intercept messages and notifications, it allowed its operators to bypass SMS-based two-factor authentication and log into the victims\u2019 accounts without alerting them.<\/p>\n<p>The CSIRT security advisory said Xenomorph has been found to target 56 internet banking apps: 28 from Spain, 12 from Italy, 9 from Belgium, and 7 from Portugal; as well as Cryptocurrency wallets and general-purpose applications like emailing services.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Fast Cleaner app has been removed from the Play Store, it garnered 50,000+ downloads, according to the NCC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian Communications Commission\u2019s Computer Security Incident Response Team has cautioned Nigerians about a newly discovered malicious software stealing users\u2019 banking app login credentials on Android devices.
