BADSIGNAL

Description

(Volexity) In contrast to BadBazaar and BADSOLAR, BADSIGNAL does not download a second-stage payload. Instead, all capabilities are included in the main APK. The malicious code is loaded by extending the legitimate PassPhraseRequiredActivity class in org.thoughtcrime.securesms.MainActivity. BADSIGNAL uses a REST API on port 4432 as part of its C2 communication.
