In a long-running surveillance campaign, coronavirus is just the latest disguise for malicious spyware applications.

Mobile security firm Lookout has traced a malicious Android application to what it says is a campaign to spy on people in Libya.

In announcing the partnership, Google acknowledged that the current processes for reporting malicious apps “aren’t designed to scale.”

Discovered last year, the surveillance tool is still in active use, according to Lookout.

Don't expect mobile phishing to subside soon. Most people online will access the internet primarily via smartphones within a few years, according to market research.

Aaron Cockerill, Chief Strategy Officer for Lookout, talks about the Post-Perimeter Security Alliance and how its pushing organizations to thinking about security a modern, usable way.
