An ongoing mobile spyware campaign has been uncovered snooping on South Korean residents using a family of 23 malicious Android apps to siphon sensitive information and gain remote control of the devices.
With more than a thousand South Korean victims, the malicious group behind this invasive campaign has had access to all the data, communications, and services on their devices, Zimperium researcher Aazim Yaswant said. The victims were broadcasting their private information to the malicious actors with zero indication that something was amiss.
