Doctor Web identifies attack on WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business messengers installed on counterfeit Android devices
Doctor Web reports that it has discovered backdoors in the system partition of budget Android device models that are counterfeit versions of famous brand-name models. These trojans target arbitrary code execution in the WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business messaging apps and can potentially be used in different attack scenarios. Among them is the interception of chats and the theft of the confidential information that could be found in them; this malware can also execute spam campaigns and various scam schemes. This, however, is not the only risk factor for users. The affected devices are claimed to have a modern and secure Android OS version installed on them. But, in reality, they are based on an obsolete version subject to multiple vulnerabilities.
