Step 4: The Execution (The Trap)

When the user runs the file:

• Scenario A (Android): The APK requests “Accessibility Permissions” or “SMS permissions.” Once granted, it reads the victim’s incoming text messages (including 2FA codes) and forwards them to the scammer. It may overlay a fake Yape login screen to steal the user’s DNI and password.
• Scenario B (Windows): The executable installs an Infostealer (like RedLine or Vidar). This malware scrapes the victim’s browser for saved passwords, cookies, and credit card data. It specifically looks for BCP/Yape session cookies.

How to identify a fake GitHub link

| Red Flag | What to check | |----------|----------------| | New account | Created in the last 30 days | | No history | No other repos or contributions | | Fake stars | 500+ stars in 1 day, all from empty accounts | | Weird install command | Piped curl to sudo bash | | No official docs | The real tool’s site doesn’t link to this repo | | Binary in repo | Committed .exe, .bin, or obfuscated scripts | I understand you're asking for a review of

How to spot a fake repository

1. Check the owner: Official projects are usually under the company or verified author’s account. Look for known usernames.
2. Repository age and activity: New repos with little to no commit history, issues, or forks are suspicious.
3. Stars and forks: Low or zero stars on purportedly popular projects is a red flag.
4. URL structure: Official repos use github.com//. Watch for similar-looking domains (github.co, githb.com) or extra path segments.
5. Verify releases and checksums: Legit releases often include signed tags or checksums. Absence of signatures is risky.
6. Look for typosquatting: Slight misspellings in owner or repo names often indicate impersonation.
7. Inspect code and CI: Check for obvious malicious scripts, obscure binaries, or untrusted CI steps that run unknown scripts.
8. Examine package registries: If the repo links to packages (npm, PyPI), verify those package names and authors separately on the registry.
9. Search web for confirmation: Official announcements (blog, verified social accounts) usually link to the true repo.
10. Use GitHub security features: Report suspicious repos and check the repository’s security advisories.

✅ What to Do If You’ve Clicked or Downloaded

1. Do not run any file or enter credentials.
2. Change your Yape/BCP password immediately.
3. Enable or review two-factor authentication (2FA) via the official app.
4. Contact BCP/Yape support: #800 10830 (Perú) or via the official app.
5. Run a security scan on your device (Malwarebytes, Kaspersky, or Windows Defender).
6. If you entered credentials, request a new debit/credit card and monitor bank movements.
