A ScarePakage variant is targeting more countries : impersonating Europol and AFP

(image from GadgetMaxim.com


On July 16th Lookout wrote about a new "police ransomware" on Android. They named it ScarePakage. (aliases : Eset:Android/Locker.B , Kaspersky:Trojan-Ransom.AndroidOS.Aples.a)

It (or a variant ? seems Norton focused here) is advertised on underground since beginning of July as "Android Locker" by the seller of a fork of Titan Browlock System.

And on the 16th he wrote about new countries targeted.

knstant announcing DE, ES, FR and AU design were now available
2014-07-16
------------------------------------------

I spotted a "badvert" yesterday on Spankwire (big (alexa 500 US, 800 worldwide) porn site) that was redirecting to a Browlock hidden behind cloudflare (after a jump on a keitaro TDS on 94.102.48.63)


The Browlock was showing the exact same design than the one featured in that post : Titan Browlock System so also advertised by konstant.

Landing on this badvert with android from at least FR, ES and DE would prompt you with a virus alert (hidden behind cloudflare)

Popup alert you could get while browsing Spankwire
with an Android Powered device && Chrome Browser from France
Then a file named Norton_Internet_Security.apk is downloaded.

Launching it :



Impersonates Norton Internet Security


On launch : fake Scan
After fake Scan trying to get "Administrator of the device" rights
(US version)
I spotted 5 different APK on the server (which perfectly match what we saw in the advert):
AU - d6c6bc0dc803f7891b9db745c24de541
DE - 06c7a02d49b97930fb9c696cde1350d1
ES - d21e1c0f992ed70c6881c1f31c7a555a
FR - e13523d97e2390ca4529abf06ebe01ee
US - 28726f772f6b4b63fb40696a28afafc9

One country one apk...the coder should really take a look at : "Localizing with Resources"

ScarePakage - DE - 2014-08-05




ScarePakage - FR - 2014-08-05


ScarePakage - ES - 2014-08-05

ScarePakage - AU - 2014-08-05
ScarePakage - US - 2014-08-05

The locking feature is working far better than in Koler.
