In fact, a specific type of malware exists solely to spy on and collect innocent users\u2019 data. It\u2019s called spyware, and it\u2019s done some serious damage <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/consumer-threat-notices\/mobile-spyware\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the past<\/a>. Now, a new spyware with surveillance capabilities named SonicSpy is here, and it <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2017\/08\/android-users-bombarded-with-4000-spy-apps-three-land-in-google-play\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has been weaved<\/a> into\u00a0thousands of malicious messaging apps&#8211; three of which have\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2017\/08\/13\/malware-google-play-android-surveillance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">made their way<\/a>\u00a0onto Google Play.<\/p>\n<p>These three apps, named Hulk Messenger, Troy Chat, and Soniac all contain malicious features that make them the perfect vector for cybercriminals wishing to snoop. Soniac\u2019s capabilities in particular provide an attacker with significant control over a target device.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does this control look like exactly? Once a user has downloaded a Soniac messaging app, SonicSpy malware can record audio, make outbound calls, send text messages to attacker-specified numbers, and retrieve information such as call logs, contacts, and Wi-Fi access point details.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is these three apps have since been removed from Google Play. However, the remaining apps\u2014which since February number slightly more than 4,000\u2014are being distributed through third-party app stores. Plus, these malicious apps are also being distributed through direct phishing texts with download links. So, its important users still remain cautious.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips to Not Get Snooped<\/h2>\n<p>Therefore, to ensure you don\u2019t get snooped on by SonicSpy, follow these tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Only shop on legitimate app stores.<\/strong> Many of the infected applications exist outside of Google Play and are floating around on unaffiliated third-party stores. It\u2019s crucial users only download applications from official stores, like Google Play or the Apple App store, to ensure they don\u2019t get spied on by SonicSpy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check app reviews.<\/strong> Before you even download an app, make sure you head to the reviews section of an app store first. Take the time to sift through the reviews, and keep an eye out for ones that mention that the app has had issues with security or might be a bit sketchy. When in doubt, don\u2019t download any app that is remotely questionable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t click.<\/strong> If you\u2019re ever sent an email or a text message from an unknown source, remain wary and don\u2019t click on any links that may be included in the message\u2019s content. These links can carry malware, or redirect you to a malicious app in this instance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a mobile security solution.<\/strong> As spyware campaigns continue to hit mobile devices, make sure your phone is prepared for any threat coming its way. To do just that, cover these devices with a mobile security solution, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafeemobilesecurity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McAfee Mobile Security<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And, of course, stay on top of the latest consumer and mobile security threats by following\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/garyjdavis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">me<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/McAfee_Home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@McAfee_Home<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter, and \u2018Like\u2019 us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McAfee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43387 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/gary1-128x128.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether it\u2019s a British spy sneaking around a casino, or a cybercriminal looking around your device, all spies snoop to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":674,"featured_media":156617,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10661,1838],"tags":[4322,180],"coauthors":[3973],"class_list":["post-76934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-internet-security","category-mobile-security","tag-app-security","tag-malware"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>SonicSpy Malware Snoops on Google Play Users via Messaging Apps | McAfee Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Whether it\u2019s a British spy sneaking around a casino, or a cybercriminal looking around your device, all spies snoop to find out information.
