The campaign was discovered in July 2023 by Sophos. They found 40 apps that were stealing information from customers of 4 Iranian banks.
The primary goal of the bogus apps is to trick victims into granting them extensive permissions as well as harvest banking login credentials and credit card details by abusing Android’s accessibility services.
“The corresponding legitimate versions of the malicious apps are available at Cafe Bazaar, an Iranian Android marketplace, and have millions of downloads,” Sophos researcher Pankaj Kohli said at the time.
“The malicious imitations, on the other hand, were available to download from a large number of relatively new domains, some of which the threat actors also employed as C2 servers.”
“Some of these domains were found to serve HTML phishing pages aimed at extracting credentials from mobile users.” To read the full report click here.
