Keep in mind the battery amnesty? Regardless of the shops doing every thing they may to attempt to persuade me not to exchange the batteries, I insisted and continued. I figured $29 would purchase me the beginning of a brand new battery life-cycle.
Lower than 2 years later, my daughter’s iPhone SE battery is useless.
Let me attempt to clarify how vital her iPhone is to her. She goes in all places with it: to shops, within the automobile, at appointments. There is no such thing as a time when she’s not tapping on it, from morning till she sleeps. It’s a type of neurodiversity issues and it’s her nice consolation.
It took us a few weeks till we may lastly snag an appointment final week and the appointment was for in the present day. I’ve simply returned.
Evidently as an alternative of changing her battery, they gave her again her authentic one–and her authentic iPhone, apparently. That they had deliberate on changing the telephone as effectively, which I bear in mind we had been informed was an choice, however didn’t. The genius figured this out as a result of her serial quantity was presupposed to retired on the time they traded it out however as an alternative they by no means did.
However due to that her gadget as a serial quantity that the Apple company system considers invalid. We couldn’t get a loaner. We couldn’t get a restore. And we gained’t have the ability to even begin our course of for just a few weeks extra as a result of the serial quantity difficulty have to be addressed earlier than they’ll even speak to us concerning the dangerous battery.
So after driving nearly an hour every manner, we bought, effectively, nowhere.
No telephone, and no timeline through which we will estimate tips on how to transfer ahead. Our solely choice, based on the genius, was to purchase a brand new telephone and wait it out. I declined the acquisition.
So, they’ll look into it and we must always get a telephone name earlier than August to determine the following steps and arrange one other appointment. And begin the method over again.
Replace 1: Name in to Apple. Senior advisor (“I’m as excessive as you possibly can escalate”) says: “That is the shop’s drawback. We will’t deal with it right here.” She supplied to allow us to pay (once more) for the battery substitute that was by no means carried out. After nearly 3 hours on the telephone, she bought the Park Meadows coordinator into the decision and I’ll choose up with them tomorrow.
Replace 2: Ultimate end result: Apple will do the work we paid for nearly two years in the past inside the subsequent week or so! No apologies. No refunds for the work they didn’t do. No variety phrases about being despatched house from the genius bar with none motion. They supplied to offer me a $30 trade-in for the SE on a brand new telephone — precisely what the web retailer would usually provide for a used SE.
Replace 3: Only a few minutes after hanging up with Park Meadows, this arrived in my mailbox. I don’t intend to pay $269 for a restore we already paid for. Critically, WTF?
On this blogpost we talk about an unusual sort of phishing marketing campaign concentrating on cell customers and analyze a case that we noticed within the wild that focused purchasers of a outstanding Czech financial institution. This system is noteworthy as a result of it installs a phishing utility from a third-party web site with out the person having to permit third-party app set up. For iOS customers, such an motion may break any “walled backyard” assumptions about safety. On Android, this might consequence within the silent set up of a particular form of APK, which on additional inspection even seems to be put in from the Google Play retailer.
The phishing web sites concentrating on iOS instruct victims so as to add a Progressive Net Software (PWA) to their home-screens, whereas on Android the PWA is put in after confirming customized pop-ups within the browser. At this level, on each working techniques, these phishing apps are largely indistinguishable from the actual banking apps that they mimic. PWAs are primarily web sites bundled into what appears like a standalone utility, with this sense being enhanced by the utilization of native system prompts. PWAs, similar to web sites, are cross-platform, explaining how these PWA phishing campaigns can goal each iOS and Android customers.
This system was first disclosed by CSIRT KNF in Poland in July 2023 and, in November 2023, noticed in Czechia by ESET analysts engaged on the Model Intelligence service. We additionally noticed two instances of cell campaigns towards banks exterior of Czechia: one case concentrating on the Hungarian OTP Financial institution and one other concentrating on the Georgian TBC Financial institution.
Key factors of the blogpost:
Customary phishing supply methods had been mixed with a novel methodology of phishing; concentrating on Android and iOS customers by way of PWAs, and on Android additionally WebAPKs.
Insidiously, putting in a PWA/WebAPK utility doesn’t warn the sufferer about putting in a third-party utility.
On Android, these phishing WebAPKs even seem to have been put in from the Google Play retailer.
A lot of the noticed functions focused purchasers of Czech banks, however we additionally noticed one phishing app that focused a Hungarian financial institution and one other concentrating on a Georgian financial institution.
Primarily based on the C&C servers utilized and backend infrastructure, we conclude that two completely different risk actors had been working the campaigns.
Because of our discovery of operator panels on completely different domains, we had been capable of notify the victims’ banks with a purpose to defend them.
Overview
ESET analysts found a sequence of phishing campaigns concentrating on cell customers that used three completely different URL supply mechanisms (proven in Determine 1). These mechanisms embody automated voice calls, SMS messages, and social media malvertising.
The voice name supply is finished by way of an automatic name that warns the person about an out-of-date banking app and asks the person to pick an choice on the numerical keyboard. After urgent the proper button, a phishing URL is distributed by way of SMS. This was reported in a tweet, by Michal Bláha.
Preliminary supply by SMS was carried out by sending messages indiscriminately to Czech telephone numbers. The message despatched included a phishing hyperlink and textual content to socially engineer victims into visiting the hyperlink.
Spreading by way of malicious advertisements was carried out by registering ads on Meta platforms like Instagram and Fb. These advertisements included a name to motion, like a restricted supply for customers who “obtain an replace beneath”. This system permits risk actors to specify the target market by age, gender, and many others. The ads would then seem in a sufferer’s social media feed.
After opening the URL delivered within the first stage, Android victims are offered with a high-quality phishing web page imitating the official Google Play retailer web page for the focused banking utility, or a copycat web site for the appliance. These had been two distinct campaigns. It’s potential that the marketing campaign using Google Play visuals would modify itself primarily based on the acquired Consumer-Agent, to mimic Apple Retailer visuals. We didn’t observe this method in analyzed instances.
Determine 1. PWA phishing circulate
From right here victims are requested to put in a “new model” of the banking utility; an instance of this may be seen in Determine 2. Relying on the marketing campaign, clicking on the set up/replace button launches the set up of a malicious utility from the web site, straight on the sufferer’s telephone, both within the type of a WebAPK (for Android customers solely), or as a PWA for iOS and Android customers (if the marketing campaign just isn’t WebAPK primarily based). This significant set up step bypasses conventional browser warnings of “putting in unknown apps”: that is the default habits of Chrome’s WebAPK expertise, which is abused by the attackers.
Determine 2. Instance copycat set up web page
The method is a little bit completely different for iOS customers, as an animated pop-up instructs victims the right way to add the phishing PWA to their house display screen (see Determine 3). The pop-up copies the look of native iOS prompts. In the long run, even iOS customers aren’t warned about including a doubtlessly dangerous app to their telephone.
Determine 3 iOS pop-up directions after clicking “Set up” (credit score: Michal Bláha)
After set up, victims are prompted to submit their web banking credentials to entry their account by way of the brand new cell banking app. All submitted info is distributed to the attackers’ C&C servers.
Timeline
We found the primary phishing-via-PWA case in early November 2023, and seen the transition to WebAPKs in mid-November 2023. C&C servers that acquired info from phishing functions had been first found in March 2024 (as might be seen in Determine 4), with knowledge in them confirming that they had been most likely not operational earlier.
Determine 4. Timeline of the PWA and WebAPK phishing marketing campaign
The one exception is the cryptomaker[.]data server, which we found in Might 2024, however included exercise from a marketing campaign towards the Georgian TBC Financial institution in February 2024.
Technical evaluation
On this part we give attention to the evaluation of a marketing campaign towards a outstanding Czech financial institution, using WebAPK expertise. We additionally briefly clarify the underlying expertise of progressive net functions (PWAs) and WebAPKs.
PWA and WebAPK functions
PWAs
The phishing marketing campaign and methodology mentioned on this publish is feasible solely because of the expertise of progressive net functions (PWAs). In brief, PWAs are functions constructed utilizing conventional net utility applied sciences that may run on a number of platforms and units. These apps are then put in on the cell phone of the person after a pop-up set up immediate is routinely displayed, or the person manually selects the Set up app choice from a supported browser’s menu. The essential step right here is set up, which permits for the seamless utilization of apps in a separate window and provides them the power to be launched from the menu bar or house display screen. After set up, PWAs on the house display screen are distinguished by the emblem of the person’s browser being superimposed on the PWA’s icon (Determine 5).
Determine 5. Put in phishing PWA (left) and actual banking app (proper)
PWAs even have the benefit of a single codebase throughout a number of platforms, which now may additionally use trendy browser APIs and even native code, because of WebAssembly. Progressive net apps may additionally be used offline, because of service staff (see Determine 6). These staff act as a form of proxy system, retrieving knowledge from the native cache if no web connection is accessible.
Determine 6. Simplified diagram of how PWAs work
All the appliance habits is outlined in a single file known as the manifest. It is a standardized file that defines the emblem, identify, net utility scope, sources, and repair employee script of the appliance, in addition to the launcher sort. Right here the risk actor can outline the app as standalone, which ends up in the PWA behaving like a daily cell app.
PWAs may additionally be assigned as default handlers for sure file codecs, however solely as an experimental characteristic, which isn’t supported on cell browsers. This might lead to risk actors writing malicious functions that register as a default handler for, for instance, all .docx paperwork, and so a easy but highly effective espionage app might be created. Nevertheless, even with out that characteristic, entry to browser APIs offers PWAs the precise to request entry to microphone, geolocation, digital camera, and all different supported browser capabilities, which means that adware PWAs might be on the radar.
WebAPKs
WebAPKs might be thought-about an upgraded model of progressive net apps, because the Chrome browser generates a local Android utility from a PWA : in different phrases, an APK. These WebAPKs appear to be common native apps, as their icons lack the browser brand (see Determine 7). Within the PWA/WebAPK phishing scheme, that is used to trick customers into believing that the put in phishing app is their authentic banking utility. The technology of WebAPKs is at the moment solely supported by Google Chrome.
Determine 7. Comparability between an put in phishing WebAPK (left) and actual banking app (proper)
Moreover, putting in a WebAPK doesn’t produce any of the “set up from an untrusted supply” warnings, similar to the instance seen in Determine 8, that customers are generally educated to search for. The app will even be put in if set up from third-party sources just isn’t allowed.
Determine 8. Browser warning customers about putting in from an untrusted supply – not proven for WebAPKs
Phishing circulate
As talked about in our overview of the monitored campaigns, a number of kinds of supply mechanisms had been used. Within the case of the phishing marketing campaign towards the outstanding Czech financial institution, the entire circulate began with a phishing hyperlink being unfold by a number of malicious advertisements on Fb (see Determine 9). These ads had been registered in bulk, typically 5 or 6 at a time, with every registration at a separate time. The risk actor used specifically created Meta accounts and probably compromised accounts.
The malicious advertisements included a mixture of the financial institution’s official mascot (blue chameleon), in addition to the financial institution’s logos and textual content that both promised a monetary reward upon putting in the app or warned customers {that a} important replace had been rolled out.
Determine 9. Instance of a malicious commercial utilized in these campaigns
Within the instance case, a limited-time supply of a monetary reward was used to entice victims into visiting the malicious hyperlink. After visiting the hyperlink, customers had been prompted with a convincing, albeit pretend, Google Play web page (Determine 10). That is the location from which the phishing WebAPK is downloaded.
Determine 10. Phishing touchdown web page imitating Google Play
The location checks for the utilization of a cell shopper by way of the Consumer-Agent HTTP header. If the sufferer is certainly on a cell gadget, the “Set up” button prompts the sufferer for set up by way of a pop-up. If the Consumer-Agent header is for a desktop, the set up button does nothing. The immediate additionally imitates Google Play animations, additional enhancing the believability of this marketing campaign (Determine 11).
Determine 11. Set up immediate (left) and animated set up immediate on the phishing web page (proper)
The demonstrated marketing campaign clearly targets Android customers, because of the Google Play visible and animations. Different campaigns (that we noticed and that had been publicly reported) focused customers of each iOS (Determine 12) and Android techniques. These websites utilized the visible of a widely known utility on the touchdown web page and prompted victims for the set up of a brand new model. Android customers had been led to put in a WebAPK, and iOS customers to PWAs.
Determine 12. Instance of iOS set up (credit score: Michal Bláha)
After set up, the phishing PWA/WebAPK is added to the person’s house display screen, and opening it results in a phishing login web page, straight within the utility (Determine 13).
Determine 13. WebAPK icon (left) and the in-app phishing login web page (proper)
On prime of all of the beforehand talked about hurdles for a daily person, the appliance’s data tab additionally states that the app was downloaded from the Google Play retailer, which is the default habits (Determine 14). This is applicable to all WebAPK apps.
Determine 14. WebAPK data menu – discover the “App particulars in retailer” part on the backside
The phishing utility and phishing URL mentioned on this publish had been reported to ČSOB. The phishing functions have by no means been out there on the Google Play retailer.
C&C infrastructure
Primarily based on the truth that the campaigns used two distinct C&C infrastructures, we’ve got decided that two separate teams had been working the PWA/WebAPK phishing campaigns towards Czech and different banks.
One group used a Telegram bot to log all entered info right into a Telegram group chat by way of the official Telegram API, and one other used a standard C&C server with an administrative panel. The second group is chargeable for the marketing campaign lined in one in every of our upcoming blogposts.
Telegram bots
All stolen login info was logged by way of a backend server, which then despatched the person’s entered banking login knowledge right into a Telegram group chat. HTTP calls to ship messages to the risk actor’s group chat had been made by way of the official Telegram API. This isn’t a brand new method and is utilized in varied phishing kits.
After loading the phishing web page of the PWA, a stack hint is displayed on prime of the display screen (see Determine 15). The stack hint contains details about the Telegram API and bot token used, and was seen even on the login display screen.

MITRE ATT&CK methods
This desk was constructed utilizing model 15 of the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
iCloud storage leads the pack in Apple’s providers ecosystem
With {hardware} gross sales slowing, Apple shifted to increasing its digital providers choices to generate billions every quarter. One service stands out because the clear chief.
Apple has been aggressively increasing its Companies phase, together with Apple Music, Apple TV+, AppleCare, and the App Retailer, to create a gradual income stream that balances {hardware} gross sales. Whereas all providers should not equally standard, paid iCloud storage is essentially the most extensively adopted regardless of its low price in comparison with different providers.
Almost two-thirds of US Apple prospects subscribe to paid iCloud storage, in accordance to new information from Client Intelligence Analysis Companions (CIRP). The seamless integration throughout Apple gadgets and the paltry 5GB free storage restrict encourage customers to improve to paid tiers as soon as they exceed it.
The deep integration of iCloud storage into Apple’s ecosystem and its lack of direct competitors make it the default selection for many Apple customers. As a person’s digital footprint grows, system prompts encourage customers to improve their storage, making certain a easy transition from free to paid tiers.
Though competing cloud storage providers like Microsoft’s OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox exist, they lack the power to seamlessly combine into macOS or iOS. Consequently, customers are required to manually add their information, which can end in particular information sorts, comparable to Apple Notes, eBooks, and well being information, getting left behind.
The competitors: streaming providers & AppleCare
Apple’s streaming providers face more durable competitors. Apple Music competes with Spotify, whereas Apple TV+ faces Netflix. Nonetheless, Apple Music and Apple TV+ have important market shares, with 42% and 32% of Apple prospects subscribing, respectively.
Apple’s streaming providers face more durable competitors
The corporate’s different media providers, like Podcasts and Information, have a considerable person base, however these numbers might embrace free customers. The fierce competitors, with many options, makes it tougher for Apple to dominate these areas, in contrast to with iCloud storage.
AppleCare, the corporate’s prolonged guarantee service, has decrease adoption charges than its digital providers. Because of competitors from carriers and retailers, solely 17% of iPhone consumers go for AppleCare. Not like iCloud storage, AppleCare faces direct competitors in a market with a number of choices on the level of sale.
Apple faces the twin problem of sustaining present service development and innovating new choices to seize buyer curiosity. Paid iCloud storage’s success demonstrates how tightly built-in providers drive person adoption and regular income.
Nonetheless, replicating this success throughout providers requires navigating a extra advanced aggressive panorama. Apple’s ecosystem leverage is essential for sustaining the expansion of the providers phase.
Twenty-four prisoners had been freed in the present day in a global prisoner swap between Russia and Western international locations. Among the many eight Russians repatriated had been a number of convicted cybercriminals. In return, Russia has reportedly launched 16 prisoners, together with Wall Road Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and ex-U.S. Marine Paul Whelan.
Amongst these within the prisoner swap is Roman Seleznev, 40, who was sentenced in 2017 to 27 years in jail for racketeering convictions tied to a prolonged profession in stealing and promoting cost card knowledge. Seleznev earned this then-record sentence by working a number of the underground’s most bustling marketplaces for stolen card knowledge.
Roman Seleznev, pictured with bundles of money. Picture: US DOJ.
As soon as recognized by the hacker handles “Track2,” “Bulba” and “nCux,” Seleznev is the son of Valery Seleznev, a distinguished member of the Russian parliament who is taken into account an ally of Vladimir Putin. U.S. prosecutors confirmed that for years Seleznev stayed a step forward of the regulation by tapping into contacts on the Russian FSB, the successor company to the Soviet KGB, and by periodically altering hacker handles.
However in 2014 Seleznev was captured by U.S. Secret Service brokers, who had zeroed in on Seleznev’s posh trip spot in The Maldives. On the time, the South Asian island nation was a preferred vacation spot for Jap Europe-based cybercriminals, who considered it as past the attain of U.S. regulation enforcement.
Along with receiving a report jail sentence, Seleznev was ordered to pay greater than $50 million in restitution to his victims. That loss quantity equaled the full losses inflicted by Seleznev’s varied carding shops, and different thefts attributed to members of the hacking discussion board carder[.]su, a bustling cybercrime neighborhood of which Seleznev was a number one organizer.
Additionally launched within the prisoner swap was Vladislav Klyushin, a 42-year-old Muscovite sentenced in September 2023 to 9 years in jail for what U.S. prosecutors referred to as a “$93 million hack-to-trade conspiracy.” Klyushin and his crew hacked into corporations and used info stolen in these intrusions to make unlawful inventory trades.
Klyushin likewise was arrested whereas vacationing overseas: The Related Pressreported that Klyushin was captured in Switzerland after arriving on a personal jet, and simply earlier than he and his get together had been about to board a helicopter to whisk them to a close-by ski resort.

Klyushin is the proprietor of M-13, a Russian expertise firm that contracts with the Russian authorities. Based on prosecutors, M-13 supplied penetration testing and “superior persistent risk (APT) emulation.” As a part of his responsible plea, Klyushin was additionally ordered to forfeit $34 million, and to pay restitution in an quantity that was to be decided.
The U.S. authorities says 4 of Klyushin’s alleged co-conspirators stay at giant, together with Ivan Ermakov, who was amongst 12 Russians charged in 2018 with hacking into key Democratic Occasion e mail accounts.
