The Super Mario game Run has been a real success. After conquering the iOS users, get ready to embrace Android, and go back to repeat the acceptance that it had.
But as in all systems, there are already those who are enjoying the interest of users. An alleged version of the Super Mario Run walk circulating on the Internet, but is only malware.
The Nintendo could not be more satisfied with the performance of the Super Mario Run. In just 4 days has become one of the apps most downloaded from the App Store, with more than 40 million, beating other rivals weight.
To get to Android, where it is already available in pre-registration, the interest has increased even more, which led to it being released on the Internet a version that is nothing more than a new version of a malware known as the trojan Android Marcher.
How to attacks this malware
To be installed, the application asks for administrative permissions and to change settings of Android. After, merely block access to the Play Store and the applications of online banking, showing a window where the user should put in your credit card data.
To be provided to these data, the same are passed to the attackers, and then used to make payments on the Internet, without the user’s consent.
How to defend against this new Super Mario Run
of Course, the problem remains in the choice of users to install applications outside the Play Store, something that should not be done, even more so in distributed applications on the Internet without any control.
But, in case you fall in the error to install this application, should not all provide data of the credit card in these situations. These data are not requested by Google directly.
The Super Mario Run, and its success on iOS, is increasing the interest and this has been used for attacks and to steal data of users. Unfortunately it is something normal and that everyone should be prepared to be able to avoid.
