I-BRATA Trojan yemvelaphi yaseBrazil, eyilelwe ukubiwa iinkcukacha zebhanki zabasebenzisi, iye yaqanjwa kwakhona kwaye ifumene uhlobo olutsha oluzise eSpain kunye nevenkile yokutyela evela eYurophu ngokusebenzisa ubuchule obutsha obujoliswe ekubiweni kweakhawunti kunye nolwazi lwekhadi letyala. Intsholongwane, ebeka kuphela isoyikiso kwizixhobo ze-Android, yafunyanwa ngo-2019 kwaye, njengezinye iikhowudi ezininzi ezifanayo, iye yaguquka ukususela ngoko ukuze ihlale isebenza ngokuchasene nokujoliswe kuko komphuhlisi.
Ingozi ye-BRATA inkulu kangangokuba iye yathathwa njenge-Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) ngenxa yeepateni zayo zamva nje, ngokutsho kweengcali ezivela kwi-mobile cybersecurity firm Cleafy kwingxelo yabo yamva nje.
Olu hlobo lutsha lusanda kukhutshwa luthetha ukusekwa kwephulo lexesha elide lokuhlasela ngekhompyutha eligxile ekuba ulwazi olunovakalelo kumaxhoba alo. Enyanisweni, i-BRATA ijolise kumaziko emali, ihlasela enye ngexesha. Ngokutsho kolwazi lweCleafy, izinto zayo eziphambili ziquka iSpeyin, i-Italiya kunye ne-United Kingdom.
Abaphandi bophononongo bafumene ukwahluka kwangoku kwe-BRATA kumhlaba waseYurophu kwiinyanga zakutsha nje, apho izenza iziko elithile lebhanki kwaye isebenzise izinto ezintathu ezintsha. Njengabanye abaninzi, abaphuhlisi benza iphepha elikhohlakeleyo elizama ukulinganisa iqumrhu lebhanki elisemthethweni ukukhohlisa umsebenzisi. Injongo yabenzi bobugebenga kukweba iimfaneleko zamaxhoba abo. Ukwenza oku, bathumela i-SMS ezenza iqumrhu, ngokuqhelekileyo kunye nomyalezo ofuna ukubothusa ukuze benze ngaphandle kokucinga kabini kwaye bacofe.
Umehluko omtsha we-BRATA ikwasebenza ngomyalezo okhohlakeleyo 'we-app' apho yabelana ngesiseko esifanayo. Nje ukuba ifakwe kwisixhobo, isicelo sicela umsebenzisi ukuba abe yi-'app' yokuthumela imiyalezo. Ukuba yamkelwe, igunya liya kukwanela ukuthintela imiyalezo engenayo, njengoko iya kuthunyelwa ngamabhanki ukuba afune iikhowudi zokusetyenziswa okukodwa kunye nokuqinisekiswa kabini.
Eli nqaku litsha linokudityaniswa nephepha lebhanki eliphinde lenziwe ngabaphuli-mthetho be-cybercriminal ukukhohlisa umsebenzisi ukuba afumane ukufikelela kwiinkcukacha zabo zebhanki.
Ukongeza kubusela iziqinisekiso zebhanki kunye nokubeka iliso kwimiyalezo engenayo, iingcali zikaCleafy zikrokrela ukuba uhlobo olutsha lweBRATA luyilelwe ukuba lusasaze isoyikiso salo kwisixhobo sonke kunye nokuqweqwedisa idatha kwezinye izicelo, nokuba sele ifakiwe 'i-app ekhohlakeleyo' ikhuphela umthwalo wangaphandle oxhaphazayo. iNkonzo yokuFikelela.
