software issue

Security researchers at Zimperium's zLabs have identified a new Android banking trojan named Rokarolla, which can target 217 banking and cryptocurrency applications and execute 137 remote commands. The malware spreads through deceptive websites that impersonate popular apps, installing a dropper that mimics Google Play Protect to gain Accessibility access. It uses overlay techniques to capture sensitive information by displaying counterfeit login pages and can intercept SMS messages, including one-time codes from banks. Rokarolla also features a keylogger, screen logger, and can rewrite clipboard contents to divert cryptocurrency payments. It employs advanced methods for discreet data capture and has multiple fallback command-and-control domains, making it resilient against takedowns. There is no patch available for this malware, and users are advised to install apps only from Google Play and remain cautious of unexpected Accessibility requests. Zimperium's products can detect this malware, and indicators of compromise are available on their GitHub repository.
