The snoopy mobile code had been uploaded to the official Google Play Store.<\/p>\n<p>The bogus apps have reportedly been removed from the Google Play Store. Google has yet to respond to a request from <em>El Reg<\/em> to discuss the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGolden Cup,\u201d the bogus World Cup app, actually bundled functionality to provide live scores as well as full spectrum snooping.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli military officers told Reuters that \u201cHamas operatives, using false identities, contacted soldiers on social media and encouraged them to download the apps\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Scores of soldiers were duped \u2013 a number the military said was &#8220;under 100&#8221;. All had since either self-reported the issue or been given a tap on the shoulder \u2013 victims of the infection were tracked down by security analysts in the US military. \u201cWe know of no damage that was done,\u201d one of the Israeli military officers said.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>How bad was it?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once the apps were installed onto the victims\u2019 phones, the spyware was then able to carry out a number of malicious activities including, but far from limited to, recording a user\u2019s phone calls. The software nasty was also capable of stealing a user\u2019s contacts, SMS messages, images and videos stored on the mobile device alongside information on where they were taken.<\/p>\n<p>Other exploits \u2013 including taking a picture when the user receives a call and capturing the user\u2019s GPS location \u2013 were also on the menu once a user installed the mobile spyware. The malicious software was also capable of taking recordings of the user\u2019s surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis attack involved the malware bypassing Google Play\u2019s protections and serves as a good example of how attackers hide within legitimate apps which relate to major popular events and take advantage of them to attract potential victims,\u201d according to security researchers at Check Point, the Israeli software security firm.<\/p>\n<p>Check Point is due to publish <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.checkpoint.com\/\">its research<\/a> today.<\/p>\n<p>The mobiles of dozens of soldiers were compromised by malicious code posing as dating apps after hackers posed as attractive young women in a similar incident back in January last year. \u00ae<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Botnote<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>*Standard disclaimers about the difficulties of attribution in cyberspace apply. The attack in play made use of clever social engineering attacks, a hallmark of malware from the Middle East in general.<\/p>\n<p>The IDF regards Hamas as a proxy for Iran, its principal enemy both on the ground and in cyberspace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wptl btm\"><span>Sponsored:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.co.uk\/tl\/1759\/shttp:\/\/www.mcubed.london\/\">Minds Mastering Machines &#8211;
