This includes the URL where the update file is housed. In the post, ESET explains that upon opening NoxPlayer-and before a message pops up telling users that a software update is available for download-the program queries the update server via the BigNox HTTP API to check for updates and if so, retrieves update-related information.

How users can get infectedĮverything starts and happens at the backend where users cannot see what is really going on. In this case, attackers manipulated two files: Nox.exe, the main NoxPlayer file, and NoxPack.exe, the downloader of the update itself. What we see here is the latest example of a supply-chain attack, wherein threat actors were able to manipulate a legitimate executable file to make it behave in a way it’s not supposed to. All they did was download the update for NoxPlayer. Affected users didn’t have to visit a potentially dubious website to get malware. Recently, ESET revealed a campaign that targeted users of NoxPlayer, a popular Android emulator for PCs and Macs. They introduce a level of flexibility that not only allows another system to run on top of a user’s operating system-a Windows OS running on a MacBook laptop, for example-but also allows video gamers to play games designed to work on a different platform than the one they own. My computer spec is more than high enough to run this emulator, also i have the latest version of windows10 update.Emulators have played a part in many tech-savvy users’ lives. My questions is how come my computer is not compatible with the latest versions of android emulator? is it because i am not enabling that thing called Cpu VT or something? because i had to make change in the bios i never dare to do it, strange in the older version it doesn't seem to be a problem though.

Then i decided to roll back my NoxPlayer to version 6.2.0.0, thankfully i can download that version from the website and now it feels normal again It happen right after i updated the NoxPlayed from version 6.2.0.0 to the latest version, so i thought maybe i should try other android emulator apps and then i installed MEmu, but same problem persist. So i used to be able to play games on this android emulator called "NoxPlayer" very smoothly but then i take a break from playing android games, today i decided to open the app again and maybe play some games but then when i reached the home screen, it's lagging / stuttering so much even though i haven't opened any app yet, even side scrolling feels very heavy
