Delete These 12 Android Apps That Are Secretly Recording Your Conversations

Smartphones are essential in daily life but pose risks due to malicious applications that threaten privacy and security. ESET security researchers identified 12 Android apps that covertly record conversations and steal sensitive data, disguised as legitimate messaging platforms. These apps were distributed through a cyberespionage strategy that exploited the Google Play Store. Victims were initially lured through online romance scams, leading them to download apps for "secure communication," which then operated covertly. The malicious apps fall into three categories: 1. Basic Spyware: Apps that offer basic messaging features while secretly gathering personal information, including contacts and location data. 2. Advanced Interception: More sophisticated apps that intercept messages from platforms like WhatsApp and Signal, and can activate the microphone to record calls. 3. The “Innocent” App: Apps that appear benign, such as a news platform, but still request personal information and can access contacts. The 12 identified apps to delete include: Rafaqat, Privee Talk, MeetMe, Let’s Chat, Quick Chat, Chit Chat, YohooTalk, TikTalk, Hello Cha, Nidus, GlowChat, and Wave Chat. These apps were available on the Google Play Store and collectively had over 1,400 downloads before being removed. The main danger of these applications is their ability to operate silently, compromising user privacy by recording audio, tracking location, and stealing information without user awareness. Users are advised to uninstall these apps immediately and conduct security scans with reputable antivirus software. Caution is recommended when downloading apps, emphasizing the importance of using trusted sources and being skeptical of unsolicited recommendations.

LodaRAT Malware Attacking Windows Users To Steal Login Details

A new variant of the LodaRAT malware is targeting Windows users globally to steal sensitive information, including login credentials and browser cookies. Discovered by Rapid7, this updated version has enhanced functionalities for data exfiltration, malware delivery, screen capture, and remote control of the victim's camera and mouse. The malware is being distributed through tools like DonutLoader and CobaltStrike and has been found on systems already infected with other malware families. Victims are reported worldwide, with approximately 30% of samples from the United States. LodaRAT ensures persistence on infected systems by adding entries to the Windows registry, creating scheduled tasks, and disguising itself as legitimate software. It conducts reconnaissance to gather system information, which is sent to a command and control server. Key features of the latest version include downloading additional payloads, remote command execution, mouse and keyboard control, screen capture, browser credential theft, Windows Firewall manipulation, file exfiltration, audio recording, and local user account creation. To mitigate the risk of infections, users are advised to keep software updated, implement email filtering, use antivirus solutions, educate employees on phishing risks, back up data, and monitor for unusual activity.

This free tool ‘purifies’ Windows 11 and skips Microsoft account logins

A new PowerShell script called UnattendedWinstall allows Windows 11 users to bypass the mandatory Microsoft account login during setup. The script can be downloaded from the UnattendedWinstall GitHub releases page, with version 2.0.0 being the latest. It utilizes Windows' "response files" to automate tasks and modify system settings, effectively removing the login prompt. UnattendedWinstall offers several additional functionalities: - Bypasses Windows 11's system requirements. - Disables Windows Security services by default. - Turns off User Account Controls by default. - Permits execution of PowerShell scripts by default. - Removes most pre-installed bloatware applications. - Disables features like Copilot and Windows Recall. - Limits Windows Update to security updates for a year. - Optimizes the Windows registry for better performance. - Disables unnecessary scheduled tasks. - Enables the “Ultimate Performance” power plan. Users are advised to exercise caution when using the script and to test it in a virtual machine first. Reactivating Windows Security is recommended after execution. Microsoft may not endorse such tools, and their availability could be at risk if issues arise. However, the tool allows users to continue receiving security updates.
