Description | (Check Point) The PixStealer malware’s internal name is “Pag Cashback 1.4″. It was distributed on Google Play as a fake PagBank Cashback service and targeted only the Brazilian PagBank. The package name com.pagcashback.beta indicates the application might be in the beta stage. PixStealer uses a “less is more” technique: as a very small app with minimum permissions and no connection to a C&C, it has only one function: transfer all of the victim’s funds to an actor-controlled account. With this approach, the malware cannot update itself by communicating with a C&C, or steal and upload any information about the victims, but achieves the very important goal: to stay undetectable. | |
