The malware affects Android phones through downloaded apps from the Google Play store.
McAfee, the security technology company, discovered the latest attack called LeakerLocker. McAfee identified two apps in the Google Play store named “Wallpapers Blur HD” and “Booster & Cleaner Pro” that carry this threat.
How The LeakerLocker Ransomware Was Spread
The first app “Wallpapers Blur HD” has been downloaded between 5,000 and 10,000 times. As per a user review, the wallpaper app requests irrelevant permissions such as calls, SMS, and access to contacts, etc. The second malicious app “Booster & Cleaner Pro” has also been downloaded between 1,000 and 5,000 times.
Also, both the apps seemed to be a part of a rewards program that gave users small amounts of money to install the app on their device. Such types of schemes are becoming popular to trick users into installing malware on their devices.
Unlike most ransomware, LeakerLocker doesn’t lock up or encrypt your files and hard drive, but claims to have your private data and browsing history and threatens to share it with anyone on your contact list if you don’t pay the ransom.
According to McAfee, the malware can read only victim’s email address, random contacts, Chrome history, some text messages and calls, some pictures, and read some device information. It locks the home screen and accesses private information in the background.
So far, security experts haven’t yet found out the code that is responsible for transferring the information to a remote server or how they will be sending personal data to the user’s contacts.
McAfee has alerted Google about the threat and according to them, Google is currently investigating it. Google, for now, has removed both the apps from Play Store.In compliance with legal requisitions, the accompanying Report for the year 1873, with supplementary papers, is respectfully submitted.
WILLIAM H. MARSTON, Secretary of the Michigan State Board of Agriculturo.
GOVERNOR BAGLEY'S MESSAGE.
"Our State educational institutions again present their biennial budget of needs for your consideration. The University, unlike most of its sister institutions of other States, bas po endowment from private sources. It is dependent on the good sense, the enlightened judg. ment, and the general desire for education, of the people of the State; and to them it looks with the confident belief tbat its past bistory, its capacity for future good, its open doors for all who seek admission, will induce them to deal liberally with it in the future as it bas done in the past.
“There can be no such thing as a mere passive existence to such an institution. It must. progress or it must die. It must keep step with the advancement of the age, the requirements of the quickened intellect of its time, and the growing demand for a varied education. Its Faculty should be paid better salaries, its apparatus should be improved, and its library largely increased. In short, it should be furnished with all the appliances to enable it to give its twelve hundred students the best of everything that kindred institutions offer, and that a liberal, practical education requires. This the University cannot do with its present means; and to accomplish it, the appropriations will need to be liberally increased. The Agricultural College, in its sphere, and with a much smaller number of students, is a co-worker with the University, and has a proportionate demand upon your considerate attention. Its Trustees and Faculty are laboring with earnestness and zeal to increase its usefulness, and enlarge its power for good. By its system of labor and study combined, it offers to all, without expense, a liberal, practical collegiate education. The attendance is not so large as its merits as an educational institution deserve.
“There is an education that our schools, University, or Agricultural Colleges do not yet offer, which we need and should have; and that is a practical technical education, that will fit men and women to grapple with life as they find it,-earnest, laborious, and real. We should have somewhere, either in the University or Agricultural College, a School of Technology. Both of these institutions are accomplishing more in this direction than many of the colleges of the country; but they cannot, with their present facilities and appliances, fill this want existing in our educational system. No State in the Union needs, more than ours, educated farmers, mechanics, manufacturers, architects, engineers, chemists, etc. Our forests and fields, our mines and railroads, our manufacturing and agricultural interests, all require the services of educated skill in their development and management, and offer to all as remunerative employment, honorable career, and ultimate success, as what are called the "learned professions."
" Yet, with this vast field of labor inviting our young men to enter in and take possession, a very large majority of them seek these "Jearned professions ” jnstead, chietly because our system of education, from the home to the University, bas pointed in that direction; also, because we have had no institution in wbich they could pursue a purely technical and scientific course of study.
Government, be made to fill this vacancy, and be enabled to furnish this much needed edu. calion, combining the study of agriculture with that of mechanics, engineering and manufacturing, chemistry and inining, architecture and designing, and eventually give to the Slate a band of practical, scientific workers, fitted and ready to take bold of ihe world's work, with courage and skill?"
Governor Bagley's recommendation of a liberal policy towards the educational institutions was warmly secorded by the press of the State. The Detroit Tribune commenting on the message, said: “The inaugural message warm
