Researchers studying cybersecurity have discovered two distinct Android trojans, BankBot-YNRK and DeliveryRAT, that can collect private information from vulnerable devices.
By first determining whether it is operating in a virtualized or emulated environment and then extracting device information like the manufacturer and model name to determine whether it is being executed on a real device, the malware evades analysis efforts, according to CYFIRMA, which examined three distinct samples of BankBot-YNRK.
Additionally, BankBot-YNRK determines whether the handset is produced by Oppo or is running ColorOS, an Android operating system variant found on original equipment manufacturer (OEM) devices from China.
According to CYFIRMA, the malware also contains circuitry to recognize particular devices. It confirms if the smartphone is a Samsung or Google Pixel and sees if its model is among a predetermined list of approved or supported models read more about Researchers Uncover BankBot-YNRK and DeliveryRAT Android Trojans Stealing Financial Data.
