Android Trojan Nyamar Jadi Security Fix



Minggu lalu Anda tahu Google melepas Kill Switch untuk membunuh malware yang berkeliaran di Android Market sebagai aplikasi gratis. Dalam minggu ini ponsel/tablet Android yang telah terinfeksi akan mendapatkan pemberitahuan langsung dari Google.

Masalahnya, banyak user yang tidak sabar menunggu giliran mendapatkan update fix itu. Dan mereka pun mulai mencari files yang dimaksud secara manual di berbagai situs. Dan setelah menemukan yang mereka pikir sebagai security fix itu, merekapun menginstallnya di device Android.

Saran bagi Anda: JANGAN LAKUKAN ITU

Alasannya: sejumlah pengguna Android di F-Secure baru saja menemukan files security patch yang ternyata trojan android!


Nah, sekarang Anda tahu kan bahwa Anda harus bersabar menunggu security fix langsung dari Google. Jika device Android Anda telah terinfeksi, Google akan secara otomatis mengetahuinya dan memberitahu Anda melalui email dengan berbagai petunjuk bagaimana nantinya Kill Switch bekerja di device Android milik Anda. Email tersebut seperti ini:

Hello,

We recently discovered applications on Android Market that were designed to harm devices. These malicious applications (“malware”) have been removed from Android Market, and the corresponding developer accounts have been closed.

According to our records, you have downloaded one or more of these applications. This malware was designed to allow an unauthorized third-party to access your device without your knowledge. As far as we can determine, the only information obtained was device-specific (IMEI/IMSI, unique codes which are used to identify mobile devices, and the version of Android running on your device).

However, this malware could leave your device and personal information at risk, so we are pushing an Android Market security update to your device to remove this malware. You will soon be receiving a notification on your device that says “Android Market Security Tool March 2011” has been installed. You are not required to take any action from there, the update will automatically run. You may also receive notification(s) on your device that an applicationas been removed. Within 24 hours of receiving the update, you will receive a second email confirming its success.

To ensure this update is run quickly, please make sure that your device is turned on and has a strong network connection.
