Iingcali ezisebenza kwicandelo lokhuseleko lolwazi zifumene i-malware ebizwa ngokuba yi-Agent Smith, eyosulele izixhobo ezingaphezu kwe-25 yezigidi ze-Android.
Ngokutsho kwabasebenzi be-Check Point, i-malware ekuthethwa ngayo yenziwa e-China yenye yeenkampani ze-Intanethi ezinceda abaphuhlisi besicelo se-Android basekhaya ukuba bafake kwaye bapapashe iimveliso zabo kwiimarike zangaphandle. Owona mthombo wokuhanjiswa kwe-Agent Smith yivenkile yesicelo somntu wesithathu i-9Apps, edume kakhulu kwingingqi yaseAsia.
Le nkqubo inegama layo kuba ilinganisa omnye wabalinganiswa befilimu ethi “The Matrix.” Isoftware hacks ezinye izicelo kwaye zibanyanzele ukuba babonise iintengiso ezininzi. Ngaphezu koko, inkqubo yeba imali efunyenwe ngokubonisa umxholo wentengiso.
Ingxelo ithi iAgent Smith eyona nto yosulele izixhobo zabasebenzisi abavela eIndiya, ePakistan naseBangladesh. Ngaphandle koku, izixhobo ze-303 kunye ne-000 zasuleleka e-US nase-UK, ngokulandelanayo. Iingcali zithi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, i-malware ihlasela izicelo ezifana ne-WhatsApp, i-Opera, i-MX Video Player, i-Flipkart kunye ne-SwiftKey.
Ingxelo ithi umqhubi we-Agent Smith wenza iinzame zokungena kwivenkile esemthethweni yedijithali ye-Google Play Store. Iingcali zifumene izicelo ze-11 kwi-Play Store equlethe ikhowudi ehambelana noguqulelo lwangaphambili lwe-malware ye-Agent Smith. Kuyaphawulwa ukuba i-malware ekuthethwa ngayo yayingasebenzi ngaphakathi kwiVenkile yePlay, kuba uGoogle wayevalile kwaye wacima zonke izicelo ezazithathwa njengezosulelo okanye zisemngciphekweni wokosulelwa.
I-Check Point ikholelwa ukuba esona sizathu siphambili sokusasazeka kwesoftware ekhankanyiweyo ihambelana nokuba semngciphekweni kwe-Android, eyalungiswa ngabaphuhlisi kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo. Ukusabalalisa okukhulu kwe-Agent Smith kubonisa ukuba akubona bonke abaphuhlisi abenza iipatches zokhuseleko kwizicelo zabo ngexesha elifanelekileyo.
