A new surveillance tool is being used by Chinese law enforcement to collect ‘extensive’ information from mobile devices since 2017.

A new report by Lookout notes EagleMsgSpy is a lawful interception tool developed by a Chinese software firm. Targeting Android devices, the spyware requires physical installation, most likely through law enforcement officers who gain access and unlock the device. From there, a headless surveillance module remains on the device and collects and exfiltrates large volumes of sensitive data.
