While the Indian government is promoting digitization, on the one hand, hackers, on the other hand, are targeting users. Hacking cases have increased rapidly in the last several years. Meanwhile, a report by cybersecurity and antivirus software company Kaspersky has surfaced, claiming that hackers were stealing data of many Indian users since 2015. Anusara of the report, hackers of OceanLotus Group, created spyware named PhantomLance, through which data from users in India, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Indonesia were stolen. Kaspersky Report According to Kaspersky's report, hackers tried at least 300 times in 2016 to steal users' data through this spyware. Along with this, many such mobile apps were also released, whose purpose was only to spy on a few selected users. This spyware campaign was first spotted in 2015.
Report of spyware submitted to Google
Kaspersky submitted the report of the spyware to the giant tech company Google, after which the company took strict steps to remove any apps from its platform. Through these apps, hackers used to collect all the information about the target user's device.
PhantomLance spyware was available on these platforms
Hackers made PhantomLance spyware available on Google Play Store and APK Pure to steal more and more users' data. Along with this, the hackers also created a separate fake GitHub to win the trust of the users.
This is how hackers beat Google's filtering system
Hackers used to first upload apps without viruses to the Play Store to beat Google's filtering system. After this, viruses and malicious files were delivered to these apps through updates, so that users' data can be easily accessed.
Kaspersky gave a big statement
Cybersecurity company Kaspersky says that PhantomLance spyware was created by hackers of the OceanLotus Group. However, now Google has removed it from its platform. On the other hand, experts have said that users should download mobile apps only after reading the review on Google Play Store.
