Beware! New Android Malware Discovered That Can Steal Your Credentials, Credit Card Details.

BlackRock was first spotted in the Android malware world in May, according to the analyst team at ThreatFabric.

BlackRock targets a total of 337 apps, of which several are non-financial ones

BlackRock initially pretends as a Google Update on Android devices

A new Android malware has been discovered by a team of security researchers that is found to target a list of social, communication, and dating apps. The malware, called BlackRock, is a banking Trojan — derived from the code of the existing Xerxes malware that is a known strain of the LokiBot Android trojan. However, despite being a banking Trojan, the malicious code is said to target non-financial apps. It pretends to be a Google Update at first, though after receiving user permissions, it hides its icon from the app drawer and starts the action for bad actors.
BlackRock was first spotted in the Androidworld in May, according to the analyst team at the Netherlands-based threat intelligence firm ThreatFabric. It is capable of stealing user credentials as well as credit card details.
Although the capabilities of the BlackRock malware are similar to those of average Android banking Trojans, it targets a total of 337 apps, which is significantly higher than any of the already known malicious code.
Google Play Found to Include At Least 17 Trojan Apps
“Those ‘new' targets are mostly not related to financial institutions and are overlayed in order to steal credit card details,” the team at ThreatFabric said in a blog post.
The malware is said to have the design to overlay attacks, send, spam, and steal SMS messages as well as lock the victim in the launcher activity. It can also act as a keylogger, which essentially could help a hacker to acquire financial information. Furthermore, the researchers have found that the malware is capable of deflecting usage of an antivirus software such as Avast, AVG, BitDefender, Eset, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, or McAfee.

How does the malware steal user information?

According to ThreatFabric, BlackRock collects user information by abusing the Accessibility Service of Android and overlaying a fake screen on top of a genuine app. One of the overlay screens used for malicious activities is a generic card grabber view that could help attackers gain credit card details of the victim. The malware can also bring a specific per-targeted app for credential phishing.
