A new Android malware campaign has been launched by the North Korean threat actor Kimsuky, introducing a variant called DocSwap. This malware is distributed via QR codes on phishing websites that impersonate CJ Logistics. Attackers use QR codes and notification pop-ups to lure victims into downloading the malware, which decrypts an embedded APK and activates Remote Access Trojan (RAT) capabilities. The malicious app is disguised as a legitimate application to bypass Android's security measures. Victims are tricked into installing the app through smishing texts or phishing emails that mimic delivery companies. The app downloads an APK named "SecDelivery.apk," which then loads the malware. It requests permissions to access various device functions and registers a service that simulates an OTP authentication screen. The app connects to an attacker-controlled server, allowing execution of commands such as logging keystrokes, capturing audio, and gathering sensitive information. Additionally, two other malicious samples have been identified, disguised as a P2B Airdrop app and a trojanized version of the BYCOM VPN app. The campaign also includes phishing sites mimicking popular South Korean platforms to capture user credentials.
