Technical Details
When the malware is launched, it collects:
- phone's IMEI
- phone number
- network country iso (e.g "fr")
- operator's name
- accounts memorized on the mobile phone. This corresponds to all web accounts an end-user has his/her phone memorize so that he/she does not need to enter his/her credentials at each login. For instance, this can be Google accounts, Facebook accounts, e-Commerce accounts etc.
- emails: emails of the victim. Actually, those emails are collected from the login names specified in the accounts above. When a login name looks like an e-mail (e.g it has an @ inside), the malware assumes it is an email, and collects it.
