Researchers allege, attackers have compromised the update mechanism of NoxPlayer, which is software that allows gamers to run Android apps on their PCs or Macs. They then installed malware onto victims’ devices with surveillance-related capabilities. NoxPlayer is developed by BigNox, which is a China-based company that claims that it has over 150 million users worldwide (notably, however, BigNox users are predominantly in Asian countries). When contacted by researchers, BigNox denied being affected by the attack. Threatpost has reached out to BigNox for further comment.
