Threat Alert: Android App - iRecorder - Screen Recorder

February 19, 20241 min read

Threat Alert:

"iRecorder – Screen Recorder" with more than 50,000 installs Google Play store since its 2021nfall 2021 launch was an app considered to be harmless... at first.

Malware, at some point during a subsequent update, was introduced and the app became a threat to the Android users who had previously downloaded it.

Threat Alert

With that said, here's what you should know:

1. The Update Added Malicious Code

The code extracts microphone recordings, searches for and then steals files with specific extension. Targeting specific file extensions is often an indicator of espionage type campaigns.

2. The Malicious Code is a RAT

This RAT or remote access Trojan is a malware known as AhMyth, that accesses a victim's phone data and sends the data to the attackers allowing them to do what they want with the data or to the compromised devices.

3. The App has been pulled from the Google Play Store

It's been pulled from Google Play, but I am advising you to check your downloaded apps and delete the app if found. Currently, this RAT is not being detected in the wild.

4. Before Updating Apps

Check the App's Google Play page and familiarize yourself with the permissions the app requires. This once legitimate app was compromised and would have asked for additional permissions beyond what the app creators have listed.

I've got a three series workshop in the works. AND they're totally free. We'll start with the first layer of defense... securing your home.

I created the CyberSecure Squad Facebook group to bring cutting edge business women up-to-date security info and how to protect against malicious attacks. It's private group of seriously kickass smart entrepreneurs, ready to protect what's theirs. We'll cover AI, Web3, and even blockchain technologies in easy to understand every day language.

Consulting: security strategy and training

We call the vulnerable point of attack an endpoint. We'll start with a security audit and create a strategy of recommended products and services you can tailor to your business needs. Then we'll start building a security culture in your company with bite-sized gamified training on the latest attack trends and how to stop them saves time and money.

If I like you, I'll tell you about the Billion $ heist

Meet Your Securista!

Oh Hello! I’m Angela "Ange Gos" Payton - The Securista. I've reverse-engineered malware and as the tech copywriter, I made tech jargon understandable for everyday people. Retiring from the Security and Response team at Symantec didn't end my cybersecurity life.

My corporate copywriting clients, top competitors of my former company, wanted less technobabble in their marketing info, anchoring and keeping me deep in cybersecurity for years.

So what is a Securista? Like a barista, I help you craft your strongest security against hackers.

Why pivot to cybersecurity, now? I watched a "cybersecurity expert" with zero threat experience provide outdated information... so outdated, I knew I needed to help entrepreneurs, like yesterday because I have a wealth of knowledge and How-To's people need.

So here we are.

I live in a California Wine Country. It's a good Life!
