Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – May 24, 2021 – Sophos, a global leader in next-generation cybersecurity, has identified a stash of 167 counterfeit Android and iOS apps that attackers are using to steal money from people who believe they have installed a financial trading, banking or cryptocurrency app from a well-known and trusted organization. A report on the findings, “Fake Android and iOS apps disguised as trading and cryptocurrency apps,” shows how the attackers used social engineering techniques, counterfeit websites, including a fake iOS App Store download page, and an iOS app-testing website to distribute the fake apps to unsuspecting users.

Sophos researchers investigated the fake apps and found that many were very similar. Some included an embedded customer support “chat” option. When researchers tried to communicate with the support teams using the chat, the replies they received used near-identical language. The researchers also uncovered a single server loaded with 167 fake trading and cryptocurrency apps. Taken together, this suggests that the scams could all be operated by the same group, according to Sophos.
