Penetration Testing Training Skills Beneficial To Detect New Android Spyware
The threats reported earlier this week were mainly surfacing in China but NetQin reports that this spyware is mainly spreading in the U.S via Internet download. Dubbed "SW.SecurePhone", when installed, will run in secretly in the background and monitor the phone and collect data to save on the SD card. The data, including messages, call log, location of the phone, recorded sounds around the phone and pictures in the phone, will then be uploaded to a remote server every 20 minutes. The other spyware, dubbed the "SW.Qieting", when installed, and also running secretly in the background, automatically forwards messages received to a monitoring phone.
