Last week an announcement was made by Kaspersky Lab that a tic-tac-toe game developed for Android had a new trojan targeting the phone’s information. It contained all the usual spyware functions to record sounds and steal texts along with providing access to systems that are typically on Android phones. It could also steal emails from secure corporate accounts.
So who is the mastermind behind such a thing? Why an anti-virus company of course! Lacoon Mobile Security, an anti-malware firm, developed the game as a proof-of-concept app that was presented at BlackHat 2013 and RSA 2014. It is just a sample to test out their own security.
So how did Kaspersky get a hold of the sample? Read more on this story here.
