Una vera e propria “pandemia” che ha fruttato ai pirati informatici centinaia di milioni di euro. L’impatto di GriftHorse, il trojan che prende di mira i sistemi Android, si candida a diventare uno degli incidenti di sicurezza più gravi nel settore smartphone.
Come spiegano i ricercatori di Zimperium zLabs in un report pubblicato sul blog della società di sicurezza, la campagna di diffusione del trojan si è sviluppata nell’arco di 5 mesi, tra novembre 2020 e aprile 2021.
Il malware è stato distribuito attraverso 200 diverse app per Android, ospitate sia su Google Play (da cui sono state rimosse al momento della scoperta di GirftHorse) sia su store di terze parti, raggiungendo almeno 10 milioni di utenti in 70 paesi nel mondo.
Lo strumento utilizzato dai pirati informatici per aggirare i controlli è stato Apache Cordova, un tool che consente agli sviluppatori di impostare degli aggiornamenti automatici delle app e che i cyber criminali hanno usato per eseguire il codice malevolo in tempo reale.
Le app installate, una volta eseguito l’aggiornamento malevolo, cominciano a visualizzare notifiche che inducono le vittime a sottoscrivere servizi a pagamento via SMS con costi esorbitanti, che secondo i ricercatori possono arrivare anche a 30 euro.
La campagna GriftHorse, secondo la stima dei ricercatori, avrebbe fruttato loro centinaia di milioni di euro, che difficilmente potranno essere recuperati.
Ecco l’elenco completo delle applicazioni contenenti il trojan e la stima delle loro installazioni.
