Indian-Made Mobile Spyware Targeted Human Rights Activist in Togo #Cybersecurity


INDIAN-MADE MOBILE SPYWARE TARGETED HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN TOGO #CYBERSECURITY

BruceDayne 5:33 AM Cybersecurity, Khareem Sudlow, noreply@blogger.com (Ravie
Lakshmanan),



#HackerNews

A prominent Togolese human rights defender has been targeted with spyware by a
threat actor known for striking victims in South Asia, marking the hacking
group's first foray into digital surveillance in Africa.

Amnesty International tied the covert attack campaign to a collective tracked as
"Donot Team" (aka APT-C-35), which has been linked to cyber offensives in India
and Pakistan, while also identifying apparent evidence linking the group's
infrastructure to an Indian company called Innefu Labs. The unnamed activist is
believed to have targeted over a period of two months starting in December 2019
with the help of fake Android applications and spyware-loaded emails.

"The persistent attacks over WhatsApp and email tried to trick the victim into
installing a malicious application that masqueraded as a secure chat
application," Amnesty International said in a report published last week. "The
application was in fact a piece of custom Android spyware designed to extract
some of the most sensitive and personal information stored on the activist's
phone."

The messages originated from a WhatsApp account associated with an Indian phone
number that's registered in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Once installed, the
malicious software — which takes the form of an app named "ChatLite" — grants
the adversary permissions to access the camera and microphone, gather photos and
files stored on the device, and even grab WhatsApp messages as they are being
sent and received.

But when the aforementioned attempt failed, the attackers switched to an
alternate infection chain in which an email sent from a Gmail account contained
a malware-laced Microsoft Word document that leveraged a now-patched remote code
execution vulnerability (CVE-2017-0199) to drop a full-fledged Windows spying
tool known as the YTY framework that grants complete access to the victim's
machine.

"The spyware can be used to steal files from the infected computer and any
connected USB drives, record keystrokes, take regular screenshots of the
computer, and download additional spyware components," the researchers said.

Although Innefu Labs has not been directly implicated in the incident, Amnesty
International said it discovered a domain ("server.authshieldserver.com") that
pointed to an IP address (122.160.158[.]3) used by a Delhi- based company named
Innefu Labs. In a statement shared with the non-governmental organization,
Innefu Labs denied any connection to the Donot Team APT, adding "they are not
aware of any use of their IP address for the alleged activities."

We have reached out to the company for further comment, and we will update the
story if we hear back.

"The worrying trend of private companies actively performing unlawful digital
surveillance increases the scope for abuse while reducing avenues for domestic
legal redress, regulation, and judicial control," Amnesty said. "The nature of
cross-border commercial cyber surveillance where the surveillance targets, the
operators, the end customer, and the attack infrastructure can all be located in
different jurisdictions creates significant impediments to achieving remediation
and redress for human rights abuses."
