Named after one of the domains where it was first identified, Skygofree can perform a number of malicious activities, including recording audio and reading WhatsApp messages.

While Kaspersky discovered Skygofree in late 2017, it’s been around and evolving since 2014. What makes the spyware particularly insidious is the way it’s distributed through fake sites designed to look like those from mobile carriers. The tool is advertised as a piece of software designed to increase the internet speeds of anyone who downloads it.

It appears that those behind Skygofree and the people it targets are all based in Italy. "Given the artefacts we discovered in the malware code and our analysis of the infrastructure, we have a high level of confidence that the developer behind the Skygofree implants is an Italian IT company that offers surveillance solutions," said Kaspersky Lab’s Alexey Firsh.

References to Rome-based technology company Negg were found in Skygofree’s code. According to You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.
