I-BRATA Trojan yomdabu wase-Brazilian, eklanyelwe ukweba imininingwane yasebhange yabasebenzisi, isungulwe kabusha futhi ithole okuhlukile okukulethe e-Spain kanye nendawo yokudlela kusuka e-Europe ngamasu amasha okuhloswe ngawo ukweba i-akhawunti nolwazi lwekhadi lesikweletu. Leli gciwane, elibeka usongo kumadivayisi e-Android kuphela, latholwa ngo-2019 futhi, njengamanye amakhodi amaningi afanayo, belilokhu lishintshashintsha kusukela lapho ukuze lihlale lisebenza ngokumelene nezinhloso zonjiniyela.
Ingozi ye-BRATA inkulu kangangokuthi isithathwe njenge-Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) ngenxa yamaphethini ayo omsebenzi wakamuva, ngokusho kochwepheshe benkampani yeselula ye-Cleafy embikweni wabo wakamuva.
Le mvelo esanda kukhishwa isho ukusungulwa komkhankaso we-cyberattack wesikhathi eside ogxile ekuntshontsheni ulwazi olubucayi kubasulu bawo. Eqinisweni, i-BRATA iqondise izikhungo zezezimali, ihlasela esisodwa ngesikhathi. Ngokusho kolwazi lukaCleafy, izinto zayo eziyinhloko zifaka iSpain, i-Italy ne-United Kingdom.
Abacwaningi balolu cwaningo bathole okuhlukile kwamanje kwe-BRATA endaweni yase-Europe ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula, lapho izenza ibhizinisi elithile lamabhange futhi ikhiphe amakhono amathathu amasha. Njengabanye abaningi, abathuthukisi badala ikhasi elinonya elizama ukuzenza ibhizinisi lamabhange elisemthethweni ukuze bakhohlise umsebenzisi. Inhloso yezigebengu zama-inthanethi wukuntshontsha imininingwane yezisulu zabo. Ukuze benze lokhu, bathumela i-SMS abazenza ibhizinisi, ngokuvamile enomlayezo ofuna ukubathusa ukuze benze ngaphandle kokucabanga kabili bese bechofoza.
Okuhlukile okusha kwe-BRATA nakho kusebenza 'ngohlelo lokusebenza' lwemiyalezo enonya eyabelana nalo ngengqalasizinda efanayo. Uma isifakiwe kudivayisi, uhlelo lokusebenza lucela umsebenzisi ukuthi abe 'uhlelo' lwakhe lokuthumela imiyalezo. Uma samukelwe, isiphathimandla sizokwanela ukwamukela imilayezo engenayo, njengoba izothunyelwa amabhange ukuze idinge amakhodi okusetshenziswa okukodwa kanye nesici sokuqinisekisa esikabili.
Lesi sici esisha singahlanganiswa nekhasi lasebhange elakhiwe kabusha izigebengu ze-inthanethi ukuze zikhohlise umsebenzisi ukuthi afinyelele ulwazi lwakhe lwasebhange.
Ngaphezu kokweba imininingwane yasebhange nokuqapha imilayezo engenayo, ochwepheshe bakwa-Cleafy basola ukuthi okuhlukile okusha kwe-BRATA kuklanyelwe ukusabalalisa usongo lwazo kulo lonke idivayisi kanye nokuduna idatha kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza, nokuthi uma selufake 'uhlelo lokusebenza olukhohlakele' ludawuniloda inkokhelo yangaphandle ehlukumezayo. isevisi yokufinyeleleka.
