Why exfil your payload via ASCII? A picture is worth…

Malwarebytes has discovered a new type of skimming attack where the booty is sent via an image!
The attackers hides the credit card skimmers in the metadata of icon files and then sends the sensitive info after the attack is successful, to the C2 via an image.
Talk about the need for ‘copy protection’?
As if hiding JavaScript in the copyright tag of the ico file isn’t ingenuous enough, they capture input field data, obfuscate it and place it in a image file to be uploaded so your Siem doesn’t even see it?
They have shared the details in a blog post if you want to learn more.

While many of us have been home, wondering if this virus will go away as quickly as it came upon us, Google has been silently preparing for ‘Round 2’ in the phone wars.
SafetyNet is Android’s third party attestation API and if you want to install legit software from the Google Play Store, you already have it.
Getting ready to route out the last of the modified bootloaders, they have now rolled out a hardware backed detection method to ensure application developers can tell if your device is rooted. This allows high risk vendors like your banking app to prevent the application from running to help curb fraud. Read more about it here.

If you were like some of my customers, you probably had a GoDaddy account to manage certificates, websites and even email. It’s time to start using a password manager and use ‘throwaway’ passwords.

Ever wonder why someone would spend time creating software for your cellphone…for FREE? I mean most of us would install an app with ads enabled rather than pay for the software but these guys may have actually created software to steal your data. This post lists the group by name and you are advised to remove apps that have been created by any of this group.
