Technical Details

DroidDream.A managed to make its way into the official Android Market in early March 2011, before being removed. It uses two known exploits, 'exploid' and 'rageagainstthecage,' to gain root privilege on an Android device.

The Trojan then obtains the folowing information from the device, and forwards them to a remote server:

  • IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number
  • IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number
  • Language
  • Country
  • Device model
  • SDK version

DroidDream.A other activities include:

  • Downloading and installing applications onto the compromised device
  • Keeping track of downloaded applications
