New Android malware called Skygofree allows attackers to eavesdrop on WhatsApp conversations. The malware was developed three years ago and has evolved significantly since then to include 48 unique commands in it most recent iteration. Kaspersky Lab said the malware is one of the most powerful spyware tools that it has ever seen for the Android platform. Researchers said victims were likely infected via malicious redirects or man-in-the-middle attacks driving users to landing pages that mimic mobile carrier web sites.
