EclecticIQ Fusion Center Report: Malware Steals Data Directly from the Device to Hack Facebook Accounts(English)
A new Android malware named Malware: Android.Fakeapp extracts user credentials directly from the victim's devices, most of which have been found to be located in the Asia-Pacific region.
Data that is being directly stolen from devices by malware, allows a scammer to extract Facebook login credentials and hack the user's account.
English speaking users are the main victims of this attack.
Android.Fakeapp operates without the user's knowledge, and must go through several steps in order to steal data, such as getting the IMEI number to the C2 server.
Once the Facebook account is hacked, the scammer has access to all the information of the user stores in this social media platform.
