Officials for the World\nHealth Organization<\/a> (WHO) have announced that many of their sites and\nservers have been under attack by unsuccessful hackers trying to capitalize on\nthe latest health scare. The attack stemmed from the use of several malicious\ndomains that attempted to gain sensitive information and credentials from WHO\nemployees. Thousands of other malicious domains have been created over the last\nfew weeks to exploit the uninformed victims of the Coronavirus outbreak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The creators of TrickBot have developed a new mobile app\ncalled TrickMo<\/a>,\nthat can silently circumvent two-factor authentication that is used by various\nmobile banking apps. The malicious app is used mainly to intercept\nauthentication tokens, once it is installed on the victim\u2019s device. Currently,\nthe TrickMo app is targeting German individuals and using the name \u201cSecurity\nControl\u201d to disguise any ulterior motives, and even sets itself as the default\nSMS app, in order to steal additional information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Over 56 new malicious apps have been spotted on the Google\nPlay store<\/a>, with a combined 1.7 million installations on devices across the\nglobe. To make matters worse, a large portion of the apps were targeted\nspecifically at children and used native Android functionality to imitate typical\nuser actions to boost ad revenue. Many of the apps took extreme measures to\navoid being uninstalled by the users, though Google itself has since removed\nall of the related apps from the Play Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTrickBot Sidesteps 2FA on Mobile Banking Apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
