To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the group has been publicly observed using malicious Android applications as part of its attacks. </p> <p>We first learnt about the sample from a thread shared on the <a href="https://twitter.com/malwrhunterteam/status/1397122900520472577">MalwareHunterTeam Twitter</a>. Based on the discussion thread, we learnt that the shared sample is a trojanized version of the Syrian e-gov Android application that would steal contact lists and collect files with specific file extensions from its victim's device.</p> <p>One response from the thread <a href="https://twitter.com/IsraelWernik/status/1397513144034017286">pointed out</a> that the malicious APK was likely distributed using a "watering-hole"-like technique: the attacker allegedly had compromised the official Syrian E-Gov website and replaced the official Android application file with a trojanized version of the original app. Due to the suspicious nature of this activity, we decided to investigate further.</p> <p>This blog entry will discuss the group’s attack tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) in relation to the Android malware and why these activities can be attributed to this threat actor. Furthermore, we will also dive into the threat actor’s development progress and identify several other malicious Android malware samples produced by StrongPity. Finally, we will briefly discuss related malware variants, including the second version of the Android trojan, which appears to be a work in progress and includes several testing features.</p> <h1><span class="body-subhead-title">Initial investigation</span></h1> <p>The first thing we did was check the URL where the malicious APK file was hosted (https://egov[.]sy/mobile/egov[.]apk). The version of the application that is downloadable from the site at the time of writing is a clean version of the Syrian e-gov Android application that is different from the malicious application previously discussed on Twitter. This means that, at one point, the malicious version of the application was deleted from the site.</p> <p>At least six other samples with the same application name ("بوابتي") and matching package names (com.egov.app.*) can be identified on VirusTotal. We verified all of these samples and concluded that all of them are benign. These benign versions of the application were created during the period from February 2020 until March 2021. We believe all of them are official apps from the Syrian E-Gov website.</p> <p>The malicious sample, mentioned in the Twitter thread, is available on VirusTotal and as of the time of writing, has several positive detections. Although some antivirus vendors detect the identified malicious sample as Bahamut, we doubted the accuracy of this attribution to the <a href="https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/research/18/h/the-urpage-connection-to-bahamut-confucius-and-patchwork.html">Bahamut APT group</a>. Further investigation revealed several artefacts that could possibly link the malicious sample to the <a href="https://apt.thaicert.or.th/cgi-bin/showcard.cgi?g=Promethium%2C%20StrongPity">StrongPity APT group</a>.</p> <h1><span class="body-subhead-title">Analysis of the malicious sample</span></h1> <p>The malicious version of the application (fd1aac87399ad22234c503d8adb2ae9f0d950b6edf4456b1515a30100b5656a7) was created on May 2021(The timestamps within the file point to 2021-05-03 as the creation date, while the file was uploaded to VirusTotal on May 24, 2021). This application is signed with a different certificate and was produced by repackaging the original app from the Syrian government.

In order to strengthen our confidence in the accuracy of our attribution to StrongPity, we decided to further examine some of their samples that were used to target Microsoft Windows platforms and see if we could identify similar tools, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) in their actions.</p> <p>Just as we have seen with the Android apps, the StrongPity group favours repacking benign installers to produce trojanized versions of these applications. Likewise, the main function of these backdoors is to search, harvest, and exfiltrate files from the victim’s computers.</p> <p>Take, for example, the following sample: 48f67be806b4e823280f03ee5512ffd58deb6f37ecc80842265d4e8d2ca30055.

They all disguised as normal apps by utilising the original clean applications — the Android sample repacks the original one into a trojanized version, while the Windows sample uses a trojanized installer packed with the original program.</p> <p>2. Both collect and exfiltrate files from the infected device.</p> <p>3. Both are highly modular. The Windows sample has a standalone Exfiltration and File Search module, a feature that could also be seen in the latest test Android sample.</p> <h1><b><span class="body-subhead-title">Possible connections to StrongPity</span></b></h1> <p>We found several clues that link the malicious Android samples with the StrongPity threat actor.</p> <p>The sample 74582c3d920332117541a9bbc6b8995fbe7e1aff communicates with the URL https://www.upn-sec3-msd[.]com/ProxyServer/service/. The domain name “upn-sec3-msd[.]com” was mentioned in <a href="https://cybersecurity.att.com/blogs/labs-research/newly-identified-strongpity-operations">another StrongPity report</a>.</p> <p>The domain naming pattern and domain acquisition techniques are quite similar. For example, the <a href="https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2020/06/promethium-extends-with-strongpity3.html">domain names</a> used by StrongPity in 2020 have a domain naming pattern similar to the domains used by the identified Android samples.</p> <p>One of the domain names, networktopologymaps[.]com, was likely bought when registration at Gandi expired. The domain was acquired via the Porkbun network registrar.</p> <p>This is similar to the domain hostoperationsystems[.]com, which was previously mentioned in the Talos report. This domain was also acquired via Porkbun and features a comparable domain naming pattern.</p> <p>Another notable point of correlation to StrongPity is the list of file extensions, which we have seen in Android samples. A similar list of the file extensions for the files is presented in variants of the trojan for Windows systems. For example, one of the samples that we had examined earlier, gathers files with the following extensions:</p> <ul> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.7z</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.asc</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.dgs</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.doc</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.docx</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.gpg</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.pdf</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.pgp</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.ppt</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.pptx</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.rar</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.rjv</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.rms</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.rtf</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.sft</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.tc</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.txt</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.xls</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">.xlsx</span></li> </ul> <p>As we previously mentioned, there are no public reports of the StrongPity threat actor using malicious Android applications in the attack. However, we examined the trojan code-embedding techniques as well as the trojan functionality of the malicious code written by the same threat actor for Windows platforms, and we have identified some similar patterns. This leads us to believe that these could belong to the same threat actor.</p> <h2><span class="body-subhead-title">StrongPity actively develops new malicious android apps</span></h2> <p>We believe that the StrongPity Threat actor is actively developing backdoors for Android. Based on the test sample that we have identified, we can see that the threat actor attempts several techniques to lure potential victims: repackaged applications, compromised websites, and fake variants of popular applications.</p> <p>Based on the additional functionalities that we identified in the fake Samsung security service application (75dc2829abb951ff970debfba9f66d4d7c6b7c48a823a911dd5874f74ac63d7b), we think that amongst the APK files that we had identified, the repackaged applications are bundled with the first version of the Android trojan, while the fake application could be a work in progress for the next version of the tool.</p> <p>In the second version, we observed the threat actor developed and included some additional components and as well as added support for more message types.</p> <p>The following table shows the types that the threat actor has defined.</p> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr><td><p>Message type</p> </td> <td width="312" valign="top"><p>Details</p> </td> </tr><tr><td width="312" valign="top"><p>MSG_ADD_MODULE</p> </td> <td width="312" valign="top"><p>Add a new module</p> </td> </tr><tr><td width="312" valign="top"><p>MSG_GET_MODULE</p> </td> <td width="312" valign="top"><p>Get the module instance</p> </td> </tr><tr><td width="312" valign="top"><p>MSG_DEL_MODULE</p> </td> <td width="312" valign="top"><p>Delete module file under <DIR>/.android/.li/<module name></p> </td> </tr><tr><td width="312" valign="top"><p>MSG_DEL_APK</p> </td> <td width="312" valign="top"><p>Delete the APK file under the download directory</p> </td> </tr><tr><td width="312" valign="top"><p>MSG_START_MODULES</p> </td> <td width="312" valign="top"><p> </p> </td> </tr></tbody></table> <h5 style="text-align: center;">Table 2. Message types defined by the threat actor</h5> <p>In this version, MSG_COLLECT is no longer present — we think they replaced it with MSG_START_MODULES, a message used to read all module names from the shared preference, and start/initialise them one by one.<br /> </p> <p>We were not able to get access to these modules, but based on some of the code functionality that we observed, we believe that these modules are designed to collect data from the victim’s devices and write the collected data into a local SQLite db data file. However, we were not able to find any of these modules in the wild.</p> <p>There are also several other key differences between version 1 and version 2 of the trojan:</p> <ul> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">The message Handler for heartbeat message in version 2 is now split into two messages: heartbeat and taken_config. Either of these messages can receive a response from the C&C server and decrypt the response to update the local configuration, similarly to the version 1.</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">Version 2 uses different AES encryption keys: key("aaaanothingimpossiblebbb"), and AES IV("aaaanothingimpos")</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">ScreenReceiver class is added to the second version of the trojan. The purpose of this Receiver is to start the malicious service via Screen_On and Screen_Off events.</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">Version 2 has an ability to execute “su” command, if the device is rooted. The main usage of the root privilege here is that it could grant permissions silently. Such permissions include accessibility, notification and other. However, we did not find any evidence that the sample would attempt to root the device. </span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">Two components were added in version 2 for accessibility and notification.</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">Version 2 uses SQLite to store collected data. Furthermore, it no longer uses ZIP.</span></li> <li><span class="rte-red-bullet">In Version 2, the extra modules used in “MSG_START_MODULES” are downloaded from the C&C server via either the heartbeat or taken_config message. It’s possible that these modules are decompressed as part of the response into <DIR>/.android/.li and consequentially executed.</span></li> </ul> <h1><span class="body-subhead-title">Conclusion<br /> </span></h1> <p>This investigation has provided evidence to attribute the Android malware sample, which was posted on the Syrian e-Gov website, to the StrongPity threat group. We were also able to identify additional Android trojan files and correlate these malicious Android applications with existing public reports based on their similarities to the threat actor’s TTPs and network infrastructure they used.</p> <p>Although there are no previously known malicious Android applications attributed to the StrongPity group, we strongly believe that the threat actor is in the process of actively developing new malicious components that can be used to target Android platforms.</p> <p>We believe that the threat actor is exploring multiple ways of delivering the applications to potential victims, such as using fake apps and using compromised websites as watering holes to trick users into installing malicious applications. Typically, these websites would require its users to download the applications directly onto their devices. In order to do so, these users would be required to enable installation of the applications from “unknown sources” on their devices. This bypasses the “trust-chain” of the Android ecosystem and makes it easier for an attacker to deliver additional malicious components.</p> <h1><span class="body-subhead-title">Indicators of
