It’s not just opportunistic, financially-motivated criminals who are seizing on the novel coronavirus pandemic to conduct cyberattacks. Operators of spyware are also exploiting the health crisis to boost their surveillance efforts. Mobile security firm Lookout has traced a malicious Android application to what it says is a long-running campaign to spy on people in Libya. The spyware masquerades as the popular map produced by Johns Hopkins University that tracks the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

The pages impersonated people like Khalifa Haftar, the head of the Libyan National Army, militia leaders and a range of political causes urgent in the North African country. Attackers would use the pages to post malicious URLs, disguising the links as news or mobile applications. Facebook removed the pages — which collectively had hundreds of thousands of followers — after notification from researchers, Check Point said.
