Ultra-Secure 'Black' Smartphone that has Self-Destruct

Looking for a Secure Smartphone? World's biggest Aerospace company - Boeing is finally close to the launch of its high-security Android Smartphone, called "Boeing Black (H8V-BLK1)", primarily designed for secure communication between Governmental agencies and their contractors.

Encrypted email, Secure Instant Messaging and Other privacy services and tools are booming in the wake of the National Security Agency’s recently revealed surveillance programs.

Encryption isn’t meant to keep hackers out, but when it’s designed and implemented correctly, it alters the way messages look. Boeing is the company which is already providing secure communications for US Government officials, including the president.

Don't mess with it, It can  Self-Destruct: Boeing Black Smartphone can Self-Destruct if it is tampered with, destroying all the data on it. The device is delivered in complete sealed form, any attempt to open the seal of the device will destruct the operating system and functionality of the device.

“Any attempt to break open the casing of the device would trigger functions that would delete the data and software contained within the device and make the device inoperable,” says the paperwork.

Well, another important fact to be noticed, Boeing Black (H8V-BLK1) won't be available to average consumers, it is designed for Governmental agencies, Defense and Homeland security only.

Ultra-Secure Mobile Operating System: Boeing's modified Android operating system has a specific software security policy configuration, so users can configure the device for maximum mission productivity and security.

"Boeing Black’s security is powered by the Boeing PureSecure architecture, which was designed from the outset for the mobile environment. Our architectural foundation is built upon layers of trust from embedded hardware, operating system policy controls, and compatibility with leading mobile device management systems. The device’s hardware roots of trust and trusted boot ensure the device starts in a trusted state, enabling the maximum security of data. Hardware media encryption and configurable inhibit controls are embedded to protect the device, its data, and the transmission of information, significantly reducing the risk of mission compromise due to data loss." according to the paperwork they filed with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC).

Boeing Black supports dual MicroSIM with GSM, WCDMA, and LTE on a wide range of bands to facilitate global use and operates on the modified version of Android Operating, that keeps all details as secure as possible.

Security and Confidentiality of the information of any person related to the National Security must be on the high priority, but problem arises when the NSA like agencies starts capturing the Data flowing on the backbone of the communication channel and Bribes Software companies to weaken the encryption, and that compels a user to think twice before opting the new inventions and products.

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Washington-based software firm Silent Circle and Madrid-based Geeksphone teamed up to launch the Blackphone, highly secure device that doesn't run on any traditional telecom carriers or operating systems.

We have reported earlier, there is another interesting Self-destructing Chips project, that has been handed over to IBM by the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Android iBanking Trojan Source Code Leaked Online

Hello there, Welcome to our blog. How you all are, Hope you all doing great. On our blog you will find support for tech, hacking and social tweaks. We provide networking solutions for any type of problem. You can contact us through this blog. We will do whatever we can do for your problem.

Have you check about last article Adobe releases another Emergency Security Patch for Flash Player.Have you heard about, facebook has overtaken whatsapp. What you think out of it. Hello, there, facebook is using whatsapp. :) :) Check out articles at our blog.

In this tutorial i am going to explain about recent leakage of source code of Andriod iBanking Trojen. When did it happened, how did it happened. 

Android iBanking Trojan Source Code Leaked Online

Smartphone is the need of everyone today and so the first target of most of the Cyber Criminals. Malware authors are getting to know their market and are changing their way of operations. Since last year we have seen a rise in the number of hackers moving from the Blackhat into the Greyhat.

The Head of knowledge delivery and business development for RSA's FraudAction Group, Daniel Cohen warned users about the new threat via a company blog on Thursday, that explains everything about the malware app, called iBanking.

iBanking, a new mobile banking Trojan app which impersonates itself as an Android 'Security App', in order to deceive its victims, may intimidate a large number of users as now that its source code has been leaked online through an underground forum.

It will give an opportunity to a larger number of cybercriminals to launch attacks using this kind of ready-made mobile malware in the future.

Since many banking sites use two-factor authentication and transaction authorization systems in order to deal with the various threats, by sending unique one-time-use codes to their customers' registered phone numbers via SMS, but in order to defraud them, cyber criminals have started to create various mobile malware like iBanking to solve their purpose.

According to Security Researcher Daniel Cohen, the iBanking mobile bot is a relative all new to the mobile malware arena, and has been available for sale in the Underground Hacking Marketplace [Forum Link] since late last year for $5,000.

"We first saw the iBanking malware was distributed through HTML injection attacks on banking sites, social engineering victims into downloading a so called 'security app' for their Android devices," said the RSA researchers in a blog post.

In addition, with the iBanking malware, Computer malware is used to defeat the mobile-based security mechanisms used by the banking sites.

"Apart from the server-side source-code, the leaked files also include a builder that can un-pack the existing iBanking APK file and re-pack it with different configurations, essentially providing fraudsters with the means to create their own unique application," added Daniel Cohen.

In addition to SMS Sniffing, the iBanking app allows an attacker to redirect calls to any pre-defined phone number, capture audio using the device's microphone and steal other confidential data like call history log and the phone book contacts. 

During the installation process, the malicious app attempts to Social Engineer the user into providing it with administrative rights, making its removal much more difficult.

"The malware is an example of the ongoing developments in the mobile malware space and we are now seeing the next generation of malicious apps being developed and commercialized in the underground, boasting web-based control panels and packing more data-stealing features," said Daniel and added that 

"The malware’s ability to capture SMS messages and audio recordings, as well as divert voice calls makes step-up authentication all the more challenging as fraudsters gain more control over the OOB device. This highlights the need for stronger authentication solutions capable of validating users’ identities using multiple factors including biometric solutions."

These Days, the malware apps are particularly dangerous as they are often designed to look as authentic as possible and one in five mobile threats are now bots, which is a sign that the complexity of Mobile Malware is increasing.

That's it, hope you have enjoyed this article.  We will be writing another article soon. Stay tuned.
