Una empresa de antivirus detect\u00f3 m\u00e1s de 30 aplicaciones maliciosas con casi tres millones de descargas en Google Play que simulaban ser trucos para el masivo videojuego Minecraft, y tras el alerta fueron retirados de a tienda virtual de Android.
\nEl software maligno que se instalaba en los dispositivos m\u00f3viles no conten\u00eda ninguna de las funcionalidades prometidas y en cambio mostraba alertas para convencer a los usuarios de que el sistema operativo estaba infectado con un “virus peligroso”, report\u00f3 la firma de seguridad inform\u00e1tica Eset.
\nEl “scareware”, como se denomina a este tipo de programa intimidatorio, abr\u00eda distintos sitios web con m\u00e1s mensajes que buscaban generar alarma, y ofrec\u00eda luego el sitio de un fabricante de antivirus con la soluci\u00f3n.
\nEn la \u00faltima etapa de la estafa, la aplicaci\u00f3n disparaba un SMS en el programa predeterminado del sistema con un mensaje de activaci\u00f3n de un supuesto producto antivirus, y si el usuario lo enviaba, se suscrib\u00eda al falso servicio con un costo mensual de 4,8 euros.
\nTodas las aplicaciones detectadas ten\u00edan comportamientos similares, excepto por los nombres y los \u00edconos.
\nAunque fueron subidos a la tienda desde cuentas de desarrolladores diferentes, Esete se\u00f1al\u00f3 que podr\u00edan haber sido creadas por la misma persona.
\nSi bien Google dispone de un sistema que analiza de manera autom\u00e1tica las aplicaciones en busca de malware y ayuda a reducir la cantidad de archivos maliciosos presentes en su tienda oficial de aplicaciones para m\u00f3viles, estos programas da\u00f1inos lograron filtrarse.
\nMinecraft es un juego utilizado por millones de personas en todo el mundo que consiste en realizar construcciones virtuales mediante cubos con texturas tridimensionales, y permite explorar el entorno, recolectar recursos y crear objetos con distintas utilidades.
