Android security app installed by thousands ends up being malware

/in


Hot on the heels of yesterday’s story about nearly 500 Android apps in Google Play that were fleecing tens of millions of people out of their hard-earned money, there is — or was — another Android app in Google Play that tried to clean out its victims’ online bank accounts.

The app was discovered by French mobile-security firm Pradeo and is called 2FA Authenticator. As its name implies, it disguises itself as a two-factor-authentication (2FA) code generator and is fully functional in that regard, as the code-generating bit of many authenticator apps is openly available and free to use.

Mandatory Olympics iOS, Android app spying on athletes for China: Report

/in



A researcher has found that the mandatory Beijing 2022 Olympics app for iOS and Android is reportedly collecting and sending audio to Chinese servers.


According to AppleInsider, researcher Jonathan Scott had posted his findings after reverse-engineering the mandatory MY2022 Olympics app.


As it turns out, the app is capable of spying on Olympians and attendees and sending the audio to Chinese servers to be analysed, the report said.


MY2022 is a non-optional app that must be used by both athletes and attendees of the 2022 Winter Olympics.


The app is designed to help reduce the spread of Covid-19 and act as a central hub for information on events, weather, travel, and points of interest.


The App Store listing claims that the app does not collect data, though Scott has shown it does. The app doesn’t employ exploits or security holes, the report said.


Instead, it actively listens to all audio and sends it off to servers based in China, it added.


If the app is moved to the background, it will force itself to the foreground to ensure it has permission to listen in, claims Scott.

Official Beijing 2022 Olympics Mobile App Is Marred by Security Flaws, Researchers Say

/in


A mobile app that’s mandatory for all participants in next month’s Winter Olympics in Beijing contains security flaws that could make it easy for a hacker to steal sensitive personal information, cybersecurity researchers in Canada warn.

The China-built app, My 2022, will be used to monitor the health of attendees, as well as facilitate information sharing, leading up to and throughout the 2022 Games. Technicians with Citizen Lab, a human rights-focused cybersecurity and censorship research group at the University of Toronto, said they found the app failed to authenticate the identity of certain websites, leaving transfers of personal data open to attackers.

In a report released Tuesday, Citizen Lab also said the app didn’t properly encrypt sensitive metadata transmitted through the app’s messaging function, which meant any eavesdropper operating a Wi-Fi hot spot could discover who users are communicating with and when.

The researcher found the vulnerabilities in the iOS version of the app after downloading it and creating an account, said

Jeffrey Knockel,

one of the authors of the report. They weren’t able to create an account on the Android version of the app but found similar vulnerabilities by testing its publicly available features, he said.

Beijing has been put on high alert ahead of the Olympics, with authorities trying to quickly stamp out Covid-19 outbreaks wherever they pop up.

Citizen Lab said the vulnerabilities were similar to those frequently found in other Chinese apps, which led it to believe they are more likely to be the result of China’s lax enforcement of cybersecurity standards than part of an intentional government effort to steal data.

Apple

and Google, the maker of Android, didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The Beijing Olympic Committee didn’t respond to a request for comment.
