  1. Sigh...

    1) The file type is not "JAR". It's an APK file.

    2) This is just yet another FakeSMSInstaller variant, as my dexid tool would have told you. The Lookout guys simply refuse to realize (despite me telling them several times) that this thing uses server-side polymorphism. New variants appear practically every workday.

  2. Oh, yes, and yet another thing. The link to the Lookout blog describes a completely different malware (which also uses server-side polymorphism, BTW) - OpFake.

  3. Ah yes - an apk is a jar - but thats another matter. The lookout blog describes a strain of similar families which are all affiliates of the same network.

    Btw -- "server side polymorphism" is probably the shittiest term I've ever heard. They just generate a new one every day.

    Why don't you go back to macro viruses and try to catch the dark avenger vess? You are the internets original troll.
