- An app claiming to be Netflix was found to harbour malware by a security research firm. - It promised users a two-month free subscription to Netflix. - Google has now deleted it off the Google Play Store, where it was downloaded over 500 times. Security researchers at Checkpoint found that a fake Netflix app on the Google Play Store was harbouring malware. The app does a fairly good job of recreating Netflix’s design and tricks users into sharing it with their contacts via WhatsApp. Dubbed as FlixOnline, the app has since been removed from the Google Play Store. Not a whole lot of users appear to have been affected, as it had been downloaded only 500 times in the two months it has been online. However, if you happen to be one of the 500 people who downloaded the app, you should delete it right now. Also read: This Android malware can infect your WhatsApp contact list How did this fake Netflix app work? The fake Netflix app that was available on Google Play Store works in a fairly simple way. Upon installation, the app asks for a bevy of permissions and then burrows its way into your WhatsApp, after which your WhatsApp contacts get the following message. “2 Months of Netflix Premium Free at no cost For REASON OF QUARANTINE (CORONA VIRUS)* VIRUS)* Get 2 Months of Netflix Premium Free anywhere in the world for 60 days. Get it now HERE. (bad link here) Anyone who clicks on the link will be infected by the malware, which will further try to spread itself via WhatsApp. Checkpoint hasn’t specified how many users have been affected by the hack. The firm recommends that anyone affected by the hack should uninstall the application immediately and change all of their passwords as a security measure. Malware such as the one mentioned above isn’t particularly sophisticate, as it requires active user intervention. It is also good practice not to click on mysterious links, even if they have been sent by someone you trust. Furthermore, if anyone is offering you anything for free, it almost certainly is a scam. Remember, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Brojni ljudi sve više gledaju serije i filmove putem platformi Netflix, HBO- i slično. Usluge streaminga postale su posebno popularne tijekom pandemije koronavirusa kada ljudi više vremena provode kod kuće. No, pojavila se lažna aplikacija Netflix koja, kada je instalirate, uređaj može zaraziti zlonamjernim softverom. Sigurnosna firma Checkpoint Research pronašla je lažnu aplikaciju nazvanu FlixOnline koja je dostupna u Trgovini Google Play. Ova aplikacija širi zlonamjerni softver putem WhatsApp poruka. Naime, ova aplikacija obećala je besplatnu uslugu Netflixa. Kada je instalirate, traži nekoliko dopuštenja koja su vezana uz ‘crtanje preko drugih aplikacija’, ‘optimizaciju baterije’ i ‘pristup obavijestima’. Crtanje preko drugih aplikacija omogućava stvaranje lažnih prozora. Uključujući i lažne zaslone za prijavu gdje korisnici upisuju osobne podatke poput korisničkih imena i lozinki. Optimizacija baterije omogućuje aplikaciji da ustane otvorena čak i u stanju mirovanja. Pristup obavijestima daje pristup svim obavijestima o porukama na uređaju i mogućnost odbacivanja ili odgovaranja na njih. Zlonamjerni softver širi se automatskim odgovaranjem na WhatsApp poruke. Primjerice da ste “dobili pravo korištenja usluge Netflix Premium dva mjeseca besplatno” i slično. Odgovaranjem na tu poruku ili klikom na poveznicu u poruci hakeri mogu ukrasti vaše osobne podatke. Uključujući i podatke o kreditnoj kartici. Ova aplikacija preuzeta je više od 500 puta prije nego ju je Google play uklonio. Ako ste je i vi preuzeli, trebali biste je deinstalirati, piše Komando. Ako niste sigurni imate li je na svom uređaju – uradite sljedeće. Otvorite Google Play, kliknite na Menu, zatim na My apps and games (Moje aplikacije i igrice). Deinstalirajte aplikaciju ako je pronađete tamo. Foto: Unsplash PODIJELI OVU VIJEST TVOJ STAV JE BITAN - KOMENTIRAJ! MARKETING MARKETING POVEZANE VIJESTI
