Newly identified Android Trojan, Brokewell, poses significant threat by stealing user information and granting attackers control over infected devices. Disguised as fake updates, it can steal credentials and browser cookies, log device events, act as spyware, and facilitate screen streaming. ThreatFabric warns of potential widespread impact and continual evolution of this malware.
From the meeting notes, we can conclude the following key points about the newly identified Android trojan, Brokewell:
1. Brokewell is a sophisticated Android trojan that can steal user information and allow attackers to remotely control infected devices.
2. It is being distributed through fake application updates, such as fake Chrome browser iterations and updates for an Austrian digital authentication application.
3. The trojan is capable of stealing user credentials by overlaying fake windows over targeted mobile applications and harvesting browser cookies.
4. It has an accessibility logging capability, allowing it to capture device events and send the information to a command-and-control server.
5. Brokewell also includes spyware capabilities, such as collecting device information, call history, geolocation, and the ability to record audio.
6. Additionally, it can perform screen streaming and allows attackers to take full control over the infected device.
7. ThreatFabric concluded that Brokewell will likely continue to evolve, with almost daily updates observed, and may be promoted on underground channels as a rental service.
