Description: Android has become the biggest mobile OS, and cybercriminals are taking advantage of this. One of the main ways to make money easily with the use of malware is through SMS premium services, turning our mobile devices into slot machines and skyrocketing our monthly phone bills. Until now, most of these trojans have reached Google Play simply posing as popular apps, such as Angry Birds, etc. - but during recent months new techniques have emerged, reaching a point where the trojan acknowledges that it is going to subscribe you to a premium SMS service... and users happily agree.
In this presentation we will show two different attack vectors used by two different local Spanish criminal gangs. We will show what social engineering techniques are used to get the permission to activate the premium SMS services - to (try to) avoid being prosecuted - and provide an analysis of the two trojan families, uncovering the different techniques used to perform their actions.
Taking advantage of their main weakness (trying to do things legally), we will unmask the real people behind these attacks.
