Malvertisement link, attacks windows but I don't know about android


Recommended Posts

accidentally clicked on this advert on an app on my android phone

I have run it through some online malware analysis tools and it appears like it evades sandboxes on windows devices. I have no idea how to check if it has downloaded a payload on my phone however. What should be the next steps I go through.

Hi @soijds231,

I tested the link in an Android Emulator.  No payload dropped.  On Android, you would see something downloaded to your Downloads folder, and also have to confirm the install.  Looks like a money scam from the webpage info:

Needless to say, but don't sign up for this "money maker". 🙄  I'll send this over to your web team to block.

Thanks for letting us know,

Thank you very much for reporting this link!

We have added it to our database.

Fortunately, there are no drive-by downloads detected in the page, so your phone should be safe. :)

Thanks for the reply! 

I am just wondering as I fiddled around in a windows sandbox and once I got around the sandbox evasion it appears to show a mitre attack crypto api that aims to steal credentials. I can link the report if desired? Or is it just aiming at attacking vulnerable windows systems instead? As the static code analysis for android gave me nothing too.

I only have a pretty basic understanding on this subject so I appreciate any knowledge you can share. 

 

Thanks again for getting back to me everyone!

Hi @soijds231,

I'd probably ask that over in the Windows side of the forums.  One way or another, the link will be blocked on both mobile and PC.
