Signatures

  • Family: Alienbot

    Alienbot is a fork of Cerberus banker first seen in January 2020.

  • Custom signature
    Contact harvesting with SMS self-propagation 1 IoCs

    Reads the device contact list and sends messages to the retrieved numbers, the distribution mechanism behind SMS worm campaigns. The victim's own address book becomes the delivery channel, which is why these campaigns spread rapidly within a region.

  • Custom signature
    Encrypted or packed staged payload inside Android package 1 IoCs

    Extracted asset shows near-random entropy without a recognised container header, indicating an encrypted secondary payload staged for runtime decryption and loading. Correlate with any runtime class-loading detection on the same sample.

  • Custom signature
    Notification listener abuse for OTP and message theft 1 IoCs

    Binds a notification listener service and reads posted notification content, optionally dismissing notifications afterwards to hide them. This harvests one-time passcodes and private messages without ever requesting SMS permissions, which is why it has largely replaced SMS interception in modern ban

  • Custom signature
    Silent screen capture via MediaProjection 1 IoCs

    Acquires a MediaProjection session and pipes the virtual display into an image reader or encoder, enabling continuous capture of everything shown on screen including credentials and one-time codes. Combined with accessibility auto-approval this runs without further user interaction.

  • Removes its main activity from the application launcher 1 TTPs 4 IoCs
  • Loads dropped Dex/Jar 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Runs executable file dropped to the device during analysis.

  • Acquires the wake lock 1 IoCs
  • Makes use of the framework's foreground persistence service 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Application may abuse the framework's foreground service to continue running in the foreground.

  • Performs UI accessibility actions on behalf of the user 1 TTPs 4 IoCs

    Application may abuse the accessibility service to prevent their removal.
