The Nigerian Communications Commission has warned that the \u2018Invisible Challenge\u2019 on video hosting service, TikTok, exposes devices of Nigerians to Information-Stealing Malware.<\/p>\n

The NCC<\/a>‘s Computer Security Incident Response Team, NCC-CSIRT advisory shared by the Director, Public Affairs, NCC, Reuben Muoka, on Tuesday said threat actors had taken advantage of a viral TikTok challenge, known as the Invisible Challenge, to disseminate an information-stealing malware known as the WASP (or W4SP) stealer.<\/p>\n

The advisory said, \u201cThe Invisible Challenge involves wrapping a somewhat transparent body contouring filter around a presumed naked individual. Attackers are uploading videos to TikTok<\/a> with a link to software that they claim can reverse the filter\u2019s effects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who click on the link and attempt to download the software, known as \u201cunfilter,\u201d are infected with the WASP stealer. Suspended accounts had amassed over a million views after initially posting the videos with a link. Following, the link leads to the \u201cSpace Unfilter\u201d Discord server, which had 32,000 members at its peak but has since been removed by its creators.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccessful installation will allow the malware to harvest keystrokes, screenshots, network activity, and other information from devices where it is installed. It may also covertly monitor user behaviour and harvest Personally Identifiable Information, including names and passwords, keystrokes from emails, chat programs, websites visited, and financial activity. This malware may be capable of covertly collecting screenshots, video recordings, or the ability to activate any connected camera or microphone,\u201d it explained.<\/p>\n

The team said some ways to forestall such an attack included avoiding clicking on suspicious links, using anti-malware software on your devices, checking app tray and removing any apps that you do not remember installing or that are dormant and embracing healthy password hygiene practices such as using a password manager.<\/p>\n

The CSIRT is the telecom sector\u2019s cyber security incidence centre set up by the NCC to focus on incidents in the telecom sector and as they may affect telecom consumers and citizens at large.<\/p>\n

The CSIRT also works collaboratively with Nigerian Computer Emergency Response Team, established by the Federal Government to reduce the volume of future computer risk incidents by preparing, protecting, and securing Nigerian cyberspace to forestall attacks, and problems or related events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
