Owesifazane osebenza ngamanethiwekhi omhlaba nokuvikelwa kwedatha
Ngeke kube owokugcina i-malware ebizwa nge-'Ghimob 'eza ngokuhlobene ne-Android, kepha yisixwayiso esifanelekile ukuze sihlale sinaka lapho silanda khona ama-APK wezinhlelo zokusebenza namageyimu.
Futhi yilabo bacwaningi bezokuphepha bathole iTrojan entsha engakwazi ukuhlola idatha ngezicelo eziyi-153 ku-Android. I-malware entsha etholakala eBrazil esakazeka emhlabeni wonke evela kuleli.
Ibizwa ngokuthi 'iGhimo', konke kubonakala kukukhombisa lokho lakhiwe iqembu elifanayo ngemuva kwe-malware ye-'Astaroth ' (Guildma) ku-Windows. UKaspersky ubeyimboni ngemuva kokushicilelwa kokutholakele okusibeka futhi ngaphambi kwesaziso semvelaphi yama-APK wezinhlelo zokusebenza namageyimu esiwafakayo.
Kaspersky ithi iThrojani entsha ye-Android inikezwe ngamaphakeji wokulanda kutholakale ngaphakathi kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ezinonya ze-Android kumawebhusayithi nakumaseva asetshenziswe ngaphambilini yi-Astaroth
Yebo, akukaze kutholakale kunoma yiluphi uhlelo lokusebenza olusetshenziswe esitolo esisemthethweni Izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Google Play nemidlalo, ngakho-ke uma uvame ukuyifaka yonke kusuka kulo mthombo, awudingi ukukhathazeka nganoma yini.
UGhimob ubelokhu esebenzisa ama-imeyili namasayithi angalungile ukuqondisa kabusha abasebenzisi kulawo masayithi lapho lezi zinhlelo zokusebenza "zithelelekile" zithuthukiswa khona. Eqinisweni "bazifihla" njengokungathi yizinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Google ngamagama afana ne-Google Defender, WhatsApp Updater noma i-Flash Update. Uma nganoma yisiphi isizathu siwele ogibeni, inkinga ilele ekunikezeni lezi zinhlelo zokusebenza izimvume zesevisi yokuFinyeleleka, isinyathelo sokugcina kunqubo "yokutheleleka".
Ngethuluzi elithelelekile, noma iyiphi ye- lezo zinhlelo zokusebenza zazizobheka ohlwini lwama-153 ukukhombisa amakhasi angewona yokungena ngemvume bese untshontsha iziqinisekiso. Futhi empeleni zonke izinhlelo zokusebenza ezitholakele zikhombe amabhange aseBrazil ukweba idatha lapho kusetshenziswa lezo zinhlelo zokusebenza zeselula.
UKaspersky ukusho lokho abagcini ngokuhlala emabhange aseBrazilEsikhundleni salokho, iGhimob inwebele eJalimane ngezinhlelo zokusebenza ezi-5, iPortugal inezinhlelo zokusebenza ezi-3, iPeru ngezimbili, iParaguay nezinye ezi-2, ne-Angola neMozambique nenye ezweni ngalinye.
Ngakho-ke sibeka qaphela mayelana nalawo mawebhusayithi anikezela ngokulanda kwama-APK (hhayi konke, njenge-APKMirror ewusizo), ukugxila kahle ukuthi yiluphi uhlelo lokusebenza esilulandayo nokuthi yini, ngoba zithwala ubungozi zonke izinhlobo ze-malware.
