| Description | (Trend Micro) The iOS malware, which we named 'lightSpy' (detected by Trend Micro as IOS_LightSpy.A), is a modular backdoor that allowed the attacker to remotely execute a shell command and manipulate files on the infected device. It is also implemented with several functionalities through different modules for exfiltrating data from the infected device including: • Hardware information • Contacts • Keychain • SMS messages • Phone call history • GPS location • Connected Wi-Fi history • Browser history of Safari and Chrome The malware also reports the surrounding environment of the device by: • Scanning local network IP address • Scanning available Wi-Fi network The campaign also employs modules specifically designed to exfiltrate data from popular messenger applications such as QQ, WeChat, and Telegram. | |
