As the popularity of Android has grown, so has the number of hackers and malware targeting it. However, it has now been revealed that a majority of threats for Android originate from a single malware family, Android.FakeInstaller. According to a report by cyber security firm McAfee, malware from the FakeInstaller family accounts for more than 60 percent of all Android threats the firm processes. The FakeInstaller malware masquerades as popular apps, and once installed by users, generates revenue by silently sending SMS messages to premium numbers without the user's consent. McAfee states that there are a large number of variants for this malware, and it is distributed on hundreds of websites and fake markets.This malware has apparently been hugely effective as people tend to fall for fake apps quite easily. What's more, McAfee states that such threats are growing dangerous as they are implementing advanced techniques to circumvent detection such as server-side polymorphism, obfuscation, antireversing techniques and frequent recompilation.McAfee states that the deception starts when users search for a popular application and access a fake official site or fake market via search engines or social networks. Applications usually appear to be legitimate, including screenshots, descriptions, user reviews and videos, as a result of which unsuspecting users fall into the trap and install the malware.
