Many fake apps just ask for permission to access the Internet or to send SMS messages. Scrutinize the permissions list for each app you download. Think about every link before you click on it, even if it's from someone you know and trust. Once the attacker builds the fake app, he or she generally spreads the app by using phishing links and file sharing services such as Dropbox and Google Drive. Unfortunately, that is already too late as the attackers have already collected the credentials. This particular fake QQ is not one of them-as soon as the user tries to login to QQ and is unable to access the messaging service, the user would know something is up because the app doesn't do anything else. There are fake apps which seem to operate normally while harvesting data in the background. The fake app has no other function than to capture the user ID and password when entered and to forward the information via SMS message to a prepaid mobile number, the company's researchers said. Malwarebytes calls it and said its only functionality is to capture QQ login credentials from unsuspecting users. Last week, Zscaler researchers described an app pretending to be a pirated version of the popular game Assassins Creed targeting Russian users.Īccording to Malwarebytes, the infected app's login screen mirrors the screen visible within the legitimate version of the app. This week, Malwarebytes identified a fake app on third-party Chinese app stores designed to look like the popular QQ messaging app. It's clear that fake apps continue to be the easiest way for cyber-criminals to harvest login credentials. Malwarebytes tipped us off to a new fake app masquerateding as a popular messaging app for our last Mobile Threat Monday of 2014.
