A few months after finding that the Joker virus on the Huawei App store, Doctor Web researchers have revealed that 190 games on Huawei’s app store were infected with malware. The malware in question is a modified Cynos variant. This malware has been reported to send premium SMS, intercept SMS, and download and install new modules and programs. The apps in question have been downloaded 9.3 million times.
In Huawei’s AppGallery, the virus was hidden among 190 programs posing as various games. When installed, the program asks for authorization to use the call features to acquire access to the information that the Trojan was attempting to retrieve. The virus then relayed the phone number, location, technical details, and mobile network settings to a remote server.
The implicated apps were withdrawn from the AppGallery by Huawei. The Chinese manufacturer advertises its users to be responsible for uninstalling these games and determining whether or not their device is contaminated using an antivirus.
