Technical Details

RootSmart disguises itself as a application whose Chinese-language name translates as 'Quick System Settings'.

Upon starting up, RootSmart connects to and forwards details of the device - including the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) and International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number - to a command and control (CnC) server, from which it also downloads and installs additional applications.

The malware also connects to a remote location to obtain files and scripts used for gaining root access on the compromised device and installing additional malicious components on the device.
