The installation of malware that is being spread via free software sites has been found to be activated following a month-long delay, ultimately helping it avoid exposure.
Discovered in 11 countries thus far, the bogus programs are hiding in plain sight within free software sites. A Check Point report details how a developer, who goes by the name of Nitrokod, is behind the malware. After a victim launches any of the infected software, a legitimate Google Translate application is installed on the system. The app is then able to clear all the system logs via PowerShell commands, in addition to the implementation of a firewall rule and excluding itself from being detected by Windows Defender.
Free software sites are an extremely popular search term for Google, with Nitrokod’s fake apps ranking high in search results. One of those websites, Softpedia, delivered over 112,000 downloads for the developer’s Google Translate app.
