In a blog post, experts Ecular Xu and Grey Guo wrote: "Upon checking the cached version of the page, we discovered that it was also used to distribute the adult game first used by the attackers behind Maikspy." They concluded that it was "possible" the developers responsible for circulating the malware operate the gaming domain. One of the Twitter profiles used to spread links-known as "Round Year Fun"-also has a website that hosts downloadable games and several third-party social media surveys, such as "How and when will you die?" and "Who's your Twitter Valentine?" According to Trend Micro research, evidence suggests that the website is directly linked to the cyber-crooks. In another fraud tactic, the malware opens a fake Mia Khalifa domain and attempts to steal credit card details. From there, it can be used to steal text messages, contact lists and a record of every installed app.Īdditionally, the attackers, whose identities remain unknown, can issue a number of remote commands including the recording of sound from around the device. In reality, it lurks in the background of the device. Once clicked, researchers said the app shows an error page and claims to be uninstalling.

When a victim clicks the link shared via Twitter they are transferred to a download page promising an adult application. The latest variants were spotted in March this year, security experts revealed. Recently, multiple Twitter accounts have pushed victims towards a second game called "Virtual Girlfriend" using shortened links that lead to the same booby-trapped domain. The team said in an advisory posted on Tuesday that some victims had contracted the malware from a website also using Khalifa's name as a lure.

The malware, dubbed "Maikspy" by researchers from Trend Micro, is known to target devices running Android and Windows. If downloaded it could spy on smartphones, a cybersecurity firm has warned. A Twitter account with 67,000 followers has been used to promote a strain of mobile malware posing as a saucy game named after former adult actress Mia Khalifa.
