image for Restricted Settings ...

 Threats

With each new version of the Android operating system, new features are added to protect users from malware. For example, Android 13 introduced Restricted Settings. In this post, well discuss what this feature involves, what its designed to protect against, and how effectively it does its job (spoiler: not very well).   show more ...  

What are Restricted Settings? How do Restricted Settings operate? Imagine youre installing an application from a third-party source — that is, downloading an APK file from somewhere and initiating its installation. Lets suppose this application requires access to certain functions that Google considers particularly dangerous (and for good reason — but more on that later). In this case, the application will ask you to enable the necessary functions for it in your operating system settings. However, in both Android 13 and 14, this isnt possible for applications installed by users from APK files. If you go to your smartphones settings and try to grant dangerous permissions to such an application, a window titled Restricted Settings will appear. It will say For your security, this setting is currently unavailable. When an application installed from third-party sources requests dangerous permissions, a window pops up with the title Restricted Settings So, which permissions does Google consider so hazardous that access to them is blocked for any applications not downloaded from the store? Unfortunately, Google isnt rushing to share this information. We therefore have to figure it out from independent publications for Android developers. At present, two such restrictions are known: Permission to access Accessibility Permission to access notifications Its possible that this list will change in future versions of Android. But for now it seems that these are all the permissions that Google has decided to restrict for applications downloaded from unknown sources. Now lets discuss why this is even necessary. Why Google considers Accessibility dangerous We previously talked about Accessibility in a recent post titled the Top-3 most dangerous Android features. In short, Accessibility constitutes a set of Android features designed to assist people with severe visual impairments. The initial idea was that Accessibility would enable applications to act as mediators between the visual interface of the operating system and individuals unable to use this interface but capable of issuing commands and receiving information through alternative means — typically by voice. Thus, Accessibility serves as a guide dog in the virtual space. An application using Accessibility can see everything happening on the Android devices screen, and perform any action on the users behalf — pressing buttons, inputting data, changing settings, and more. This is precisely why the creators of malicious Android applications are so fond of Accessibility. This set of functions enables them to do a great deal of harm: spy on correspondence, snoop on passwords, steal financial information, intercept one-time transaction confirmation codes, and so on. Moreover, Accessibility also allows malware to perform user actions within other applications. For example, it can make a transfer in a banking app and confirm the transaction using the one-time code from a text message. This is why Google deems the permission to access Accessibility particularly perilous — and rightly so. For apps available on Google Play, their use is subject to careful scrutiny by moderators. As for programs downloaded from unknown sources, Android developers have attempted to completely disable access to this set of functions. Why Google restricts access to notifications Weve covered Accessibility, so now lets talk about whats wrong with applications accessing notifications (in Android, this function is called Notification Listener). The danger lies in the fact that notifications may contain a lot of personal information about the user. For example, with access to all notifications, a malicious app can read almost all of the users incoming correspondence. In particular, it can intercept messages containing one-time codes for confirming bank transactions, logging in to various services (such as messengers), changing passwords, and so on. Here, two serious threats arise. Firstly, an app with access to Notification Listener has a simple and convenient way to monitor the user — very useful for spyware. Secondly, a malicious app can use the information obtained from notifications to hijack user accounts. And all this without any extra tricks, complex technical gimmicks, or expensive vulnerabilities — just exploiting Androids built-in capabilities. Its not surprising that Google considers access to notifications no less dangerous than access to Accessibility, and attempts to restrict it for programs downloaded from outside the app stores. How Android malware bypasses Restricted Settings In both Android 13 and 14, the mechanism to protect against the use of dangerous functions by malicious apps downloaded from unknown sources operates as follows. App stores typically use the so-called session-based installation method. Apps installed using this method are considered safe by the system, no restrictions are placed on them, and users can grant these apps access to Accessibility and Notification Listener. However, if an app is installed without using the session-based method — which is very likely to happen when a user manually downloads an APK — its deemed unsafe, and the Restricted Settings function is enabled for it. Hence the bypass mechanism: even if a malicious app downloaded from an untrusted source cannot access Accessibility or notifications, it can use the session-based method to install another malicious app! It will be considered safe, and access restrictions wont be activated. Were not talking theory here – this is a real problem: malware developers have already learned to bypass the Restricted Settings mechanism in the latest versions of their creations. Therefore, the restrictions in Android 13 and 14 will only combat malware thats old — not protect against new malware. How to disable Restricted Settings when installing an app from third-party sources Even though its not safe, sometimes a user might need to grant access to Accessibility or Notification Listener to an app downloaded from outside the store. We recommend extreme caution in this case, and strongly advise scanning such an application with a reliable antivirus before installing it. To disable the restrictions: Open your smartphone settings Go to the Apps section Select the app you want to remove access restrictions for In the upper right corner, tap on the three dots icon Select Allow restricted settings Thats it! Now, the menu option that lets you grant the app the necessary permissions will become active. How to protect your Android smartphone Since you cant rely on Restricted Settings, youll have to use other methods to protect yourself from malware that abuses access to Accessibility or notifications: Be wary of any apps requesting access to these features — weve discussed above why this is very dangerous Try to install applications from official stores. Sometimes malware can still be found in them, but the risk is much lower than the chance of picking up trojans from obscure sites on the internet If you really have to install an app from an unreliable source, remember to disable this option immediately after installation Scan all applications you install with a reliable mobile antivirus. If youre using the free version of our protection tool, remember to do this manually before launching each new application. In the paid version of Kaspersky: Antivirus & VPN, this scan runs automatically.

The recent explosion that ravaged a duplex in the Bluemont neighborhood, plunging it into flames, has sent shockwaves through the community. As investigations into the incident unfold, the spotlight is now squarely on James Yoo, the suspected resident, whose enigmatic online presence is drawing intense scrutiny. Once   show more ...  

a prominent figure in security at Global Crossing Telecommunications, Yoo’s reputation took a drastic turn when his house was blown up during a federal raid in Virginia. The aftermath in Arlington’s Bluemont neighborhood has left residents bewildered. Despite his impressive security background, the circumstances leading to this explosive event remain shrouded in mystery, prompting the community to grapple with unanswered questions as the smoke dissipates. Disturbing LinkedIn Posts of James Yoo Yoo’s LinkedIn account, linked to the incident address, exposes a series of disturbing posts, including one where he photographs neighbors and their vehicles. In a detailed LinkedIn post, Yoo targets his next-door neighbor, ‘Lance Smith,’ residing at 846 N. Burlington St., Arlington, VA 22203. Casting doubt on Mr. Smith’s identity, Yoo makes bold allegations, accusing him, his ‘wife’ (‘Jamie’), and their two children of being spies. The post also includes personal details such as the type of car Smith drives and his alleged university attendance. This detailed and accusatory statement raises eyebrows, shedding light on Yoo’s perspective and potentially indicating a level of paranoia or distress. The post not only provides personal information about his neighbor but also includes serious allegations without clear evidence or context. Although the connection between these posts and the explosive incident remains unconfirmed, it paints a concerning picture. Insight from Twitter Thread About James Yoo Furthermore, a Twitter thread by user Richard B. Long provides additional insights into Yoo’s life. Long’s tweets reveal that Yoo has resided at 844 N Burlington, Arlington, since 1992, with current property tax arrears. A tweet featuring photos inside 846 N Burlington St suggests Yoo’s disputes with neighbors, adding a layer of complexity to the unfolding narrative. Property records confirm Yoo’s neighbor at 846 Burlington as “Lance,” as stated by Yoo, and indicate that 844 Burlington Street N is owned by James Yoo himself. This detailed information from the Twitter thread and property records adds depth to the ongoing investigation into the explosive incident. Disturbing Personal Habits Witness Alex Wilson, a neighbor of Yoo, shares disconcerting details about Yoo’s reclusive behavior, such as covering windows with aluminum foil. Wilson recounts an incident where Yoo confronted potential property buyers with a knife a few years ago, contributing to a tense reputation. Real estate records corroborate this by showing the property was withdrawn from the market at the end of 2021. Explosive Incident Details The explosive incident occurred during a confrontation between the police and the suspect at around 8:25 p.m. Arlington County police faced gunfire as they attempted to execute a search warrant, leading to an explosion that rocked the duplex. Video footage captured by Wilson shows the suspect firing a rifle at police, causing injuries. As investigations by federal agencies like the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, work to uncover the circumstances surrounding the explosion, authorities will scrutinize Yoo’s online activities to understand his mindset leading up to the incident. The community awaits updates on the investigation, grappling with questions about Yoo’s mental state and the factors that led to the tragic explosion in the normally quiet Bluemont neighborhood.ety of the community.

one-hour downtime for the organization. The threat actors, identified as Team Network Nine, carried out a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, rendering the SPARRSO website inaccessible.  SPARRSO data breach: Team Network Nine Claims Responsibility Screenshots shared on the group’s Telegram channel displayed the SPARRSO data breach, supported by check host reports revealing abnormalities in website activity. The Bangladesh Space Research and Remote Sensing Organization website sparrso.gov.bd seems to be down at the moment and has impacted the organization. The group proudly announced the SPARRSO data breach on their Telegram channel, emphasizing their successful attempt at compromising the organization’s online presence.  The post included references to other hacker teams, showcasing a collaborative effort within the hacking community. Despite attempts to gather more information about the SPARRSO data breach, The Cyber Express faced obstacles due to the organization’s website displaying an “HTTP ERROR 500.” This error, commonly associated with internal server issues, has hindered communication with the affected organization, leaving the veracity of the breach unconfirmed. The HTTP Error 500, indicative of internal server problems, can result from various cyberattacks, such as malicious code injection, DoS/DDoS attacks, exploiting vulnerabilities, data corruption, server misconfigurations, and brute force attacks. These attacks pose serious threats, disrupting normal operations, crashing servers, and compromising critical files. Cyberattack on SPARRSO and Recent Attacks on Bangladesh The SPARRSO data breach incident follows recent precautions taken by Bangladesh’s central bank to safeguard against potential cyber threats. Several internal online services were temporarily suspended for 36 hours as a preventive measure, echoing concerns stemming from a 2016 cyberattack where hackers absconded with nearly $1 billion. Executive Director Md. Mezbaul Haque assured that the bank’s increased vigilance and surveillance measures aimed to protect against possible cyberattacks. The move came in response to alerts from the country’s electronic incident response team, warning of an impending attack on critical information infrastructure, banks, financial institutions, and government and private agencies. As the SPARRSO data breach unfolds, questions surrounding the organization’s cybersecurity measures and the broader landscape of cyber threats in Bangladesh persist. The collaborative efforts of hacktivist groups, exemplified by Team Network Nine, need more importance and quick mitigation techniques.  Media Disclaimer: This report is based on internal and external research obtained through various means.

integrity of sensitive information housed within the department. However, at present, the claims of a data breach at the Income Tax Department by the threat actor are yet to be confirmed. Income Tax Department of India on Radar The threat actor, ‘dawnofdevil,’ asserts having acquired access to an email account hosted on the incometax.gov.in domain. The hacker claims that the compromised email can be exploited for registrations on various Indian government-affiliated websites, exclusively those utilizing the ‘gov.in’ top-level domain. According to a statement released by the hacking group, unauthorized access to an email account within the incometax.gov.in domain, directly linked to the Income Tax Department of India, is being offered for exploitation. The threat actor has attached a price tag of US$500 to this unauthorized access and is actively encouraging potential buyers to establish contact through private channels. Dawnofdevil also claims to have successfully tested the compromised email on multiple government-affiliated websites, confirming its efficacy in bypassing registration processes. The Cyber Express Team has reached out to officials from the Income Tax Department to validate this claim; however, as of now, there has been no response from the department. The compromised domain under scrutiny is incometax.gov.in, the designated official website of the Income Tax Department of India. Notably, at the time of composing this news report, it has been observed that the official website remains fully functional. This unauthorized access not only poses a direct threat to the security of India, given the critical nature of the Income Tax Department as a government entity, but it also extends its impact beyond national borders. The Asia & Pacific (APAC) region is directly affected, considering the compromised domain’s association with an Indian government organization. As the cybersecurity community investigates the extent of the Income Tax Department of India’s security breach, there is a heightened emphasis on reinforcing security measures to prevent further unauthorized access and to safeguard sensitive government information from potential misuse.

A particularly nefarious Banking Trojan, TrickBot, has reemerged, this time with an Android variant named “TrickMo” – a reference to a similar strain of banking malware earlier observed by IBM researchers called “ZitMo” developed by the Zeus cybercriminal group. Cyble Research and   show more ...  

Intelligence Labs conducted a deep dive into the latest variant of TrickMo in their recent analysis.  Initially identified in September 2019, TrickMo has made a reappearance in the Banking Trojan space with enhanced capabilities. The variants of TrickMo that Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs have observed all leverage JsonPacker to conceal their code. While this is fairly common for newer banking Trojans, the latest iteration of TrickMo contains enhanced capabilities to carry out other activities, such as exfiltrating device screen content, downloading runtime modules, and overlay injection, to name a few.   TrickMo Banking Trojan The Overlay Injection, or Overlay Attack as it is often called, is a notable differentiator from earlier iterations of TrickMo, which primarily relied on screen recording to capture details. Overlay Attack, by comparison, is relatively more sophisticated and efficient, showcasing the evolution of TrickMo since its inception in 2019 and subsequent iterations in 2020 and 2021. The applications targeted by this iteration of TrickMo malware are typically banking apps and browsers, in keeping with Banking Trojan behavior observed in the past.  The Clicker function is preloaded with a set of applications defined by the malware author, upon which TrickMo will auto-click to execute with a set of pre-defined filters and actions to carry out information-stealing activities. The malware can then successfully auto-execute these applications and activities on the compromised device without the victim’s knowledge – indicating the level of evolution that TrickMo has undergone in recent years.  In a similar theme, TrickMo has done away with its reliance on screen recording via the MediaProjection API in favor of collecting Accessibility event logs instead to gather data from the running applications that it initiates via the Clicker function. The Accessibility event log data is sent back to the malware author in the form of a zip file after collection from the victim’s device.  It’s worth noting that the Accessibility Service built into Android Operating Systems typically deters such activities, which is why one of the prerequisites for TrickMo to run successfully on a target device is for the intended victim to allow the application Accessibility Service access, something TrickMo will repeatedly prompt them to do.  With these new features, TrickMo’s expanded arsenal stands at a current total of 45 commands, each with its own designated malicious purpose to either compromise or exfiltrate sensitive data from victims’ devices.  While this is definitely a sophisticated and dangerous strain of malware, exercising some basic cyber-hygiene can help mobile users secure themselves from TrickMo and other similar malware. We have listed a few of these steps below: Update your operating system on all your devices regularly  Do not download applications from unverified sources such as sideloading or links. Ensure that any applications you are running are from official software platforms such as Google Play Store and the iOS App Store  Be wary of granting Accessibility Service access to any application  Run strong, reputed antivirus and anti-malware software on your devices to detect and quarantine malware  Do not open links or attachments sent to your mobile device, particularly from unknown senders, without verifying their authenticity first  Media Disclaimer: This report is based on internal and external research obtained through various means.
