Beware the Hermit
Spyware, created by the Italian firm RCS Lads, dubbed Hermit, is causing havoc as several governments used it to hack into private messages and phone contacts.
The governments of Syria, Kazakhstan, and others are using it to infiltrate anti-government forces.
Hermit may run on a website in the background or the app, where it’ll retrieve malware modules remotely. The software can use device root exploits to make and redirect calls and log audio, call history, contacts, and other information.
It all comes down to being on guard about your apps, where you’re installing them, and whether you trust the source.
