Not for the first time: North Korean hackers used fake apps to spread spyware on Android

Malware, specifically a new spyware variant called KoSpy, has been linked to a North Korean hacking group known as ScarCruft (APT37). Researchers at Lookout Threat Lab discovered KoSpy concealed within deceptive applications like file managers and security software. Once installed, it can extract sensitive information such as SMS messages, call logs, device location, and access files. It can also record audio and video, capture screenshots, and log keystrokes. The data collected is transmitted to Command and Control servers encrypted with a hardcoded AES key and utilizes Firebase Firestore for configuration data. At least one malicious application associated with KoSpy was found on the Google Play Store, downloaded over ten times, and similar apps were also on third-party app store APKPure. Google has since removed the identified applications and deactivated the related Firebase projects.

Android apps break due to Google Play services ‘not supported’ error

A number of Pixel device owners are experiencing issues with Google Play services, which is displaying a message that it is “not supported by your device.” This malfunction affects both first and third-party applications, rendering them inoperable on Android 15 stable and QPR1 Beta versions. Popular applications like Gmail are unable to function, and the Discover feed is also impacted. The Play Store is returning an error message indicating that Google Play Services is not available or too old. The issue may extend beyond Pixel devices to other Android users. Some users speculate that the problem may be related to the Google Play services beta program. Suggested troubleshooting steps include opting out of the beta program, restarting devices, and updating to the latest stable version of Play services, though these solutions have not worked for everyone. Some users have resolved the issue by performing a factory reset.
