Kaspersky Lab has detected a new targeted attack against Uyghur activists. The attack is based on a malicious program for Android-based mobile devices. The Android malware used in the new attack steals private data from infected smartphones, including the address book and messaging history, and sends it to a command and control server. This attack is believed to be the first of this kind utilizing fully functional Android malware and specifically targeting mobile devices of potential victims. The attackers have so far used social engineering to trick the victims into installing the app.”]
