Malware dubbed SonicSpy spyware has been spreading across Android app stores since at least February. The spyware can monitor almost anything a user does on their mobile device from silently recording calls to make outbound calls without the user’s interaction. Researchers believe the malware is related to a developer based in Iraq and say the malware family supports 73 different remote instructions that its attacker could execute on an infected Android device. The malware could potentially get into the Play Store again with another developer account and different app interface.
