ScareCrow uses a combination of AES and RSA cryptographic algorithms to thoroughly encryption of data. After successfully making files inaccessible, the virus automatically opens a pop-up window with decryption instructions.

How to remove BrasDex malware (Android)

0
BrasDex is categorized as a banking virus that infects Android (and Windows) devices to access bank accounts and steal money from victims. This specific banker has been observed targeting victims in the Brazilian region - recently via a fake banking app named "Brazilian Banco Santander". Previously, it used to infiltrate devices by disguising itself as essential Android settings applications. BrasDex abuses Accessibility Services to record the information entered into banking applications. However, instead of showing overlaid (fake) screens to bait users into entering their log-in credentials, it instead keyloggers them inside targetted banking applications themselves. Unlike other banking malware, BrasDex also employs an ATS (Automated Transfer System) mechanism, which allows cybercriminals to perform fraudulent transactions in an automated way - therefore automating malicious business and increasing illegal profits. In addition, it is also known that BrasDex exploits a popular Pix fast payment system that was developed by the Central Bank of Brazil. This makes its easier for cybercriminals since all they require is the victim's identifier (which can be an email, CPF, phone number, or random ID). Please note that the Pxi system is not vulnerable - threat actors simply use this system to speed up the process of fraudulent transfers. A lot more technical information about BrasDex can be discovered in this report made by ThreatFabric. BrasDex is a dangerous virus that can cause unpleasant financial losses and privacy issues - thus, make sure to read our guide below and delete this devastating malware from your device. Once done, it is also important to change your log-in credentials.
