    Kaspersky Lab Discovers Podec: The first Trojan to Trick CAPTCHA

    The first malware to successfully outwit the CAPTCHA image recognition system has been detected by Kaspersky Lab’s security analysts. The Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.Podec has developed a technique to convince CAPTCHA it is a person in order to subscribe thousands of infected Android users to premium-rate services.

    First detected in late 2014 and updated since then, Podec automatically forwards CAPTCHA requests to a real-time online human translation service that converts the image to text.  It can also bypass the Advice on Charge system, which notifies users about the price of a service and requires authorization before payment.  The Trojan’s goal is to extort money from victims via premium-rate services.

    According to data collected with the help of the Kaspersky Security Network, Podec targets Android device users primarily through Russia’s popular social network, VKontakte (VK, vk.com). Other sources discovered by Kaspersky Lab include domains with the names of Apk-downlad3.ru and minergamevip.com. Most victims to date have been detected in Russia and surrounding countries.

    Infection generally occurs through links to supposedly cracked versions of popular computer games, such as Minecraft Pocket Edition. These links appear on group pages and victims are drawn in by the lack of cost and what appears to be a far lower file size for the game when compared to the legitimate version. Upon infection, the Podec malware requests administrator privileges that, once granted, make it impossible to delete or halt the execution of the malware.
