🔴🦠 Mobile Threat Spotlight ➡️ I'm starting a series dedicated to the mobile malwares that have been detected by the Lookout fleet several times recently, but which have flown under almost everyone's radar. 🔍 Quick Facts: Name: YouCine Type: Android Trojan Family : Pandora (1,205 apps identified in the same family in Lookout corpus) SHA1: 7ca5fb561c83c143d3f61b083b167e9267289793 Primary Target: Gives victims the false hope of accessing free international TV on their mobile devices, while discreetly mining their data. 🎯 What It Does: The malware exhibits a range of intrusive capabilities, including unauthorised access to device sensors and cameras, making inbound connections, accessing calendars and private internet addresses, and potentially compromising GDPR compliance. ➡️ If the name Lookout is new to you, here's what you should know: We have analysed over 300 million iOS and Android applications, ensuring the protection of millions of enterprise mobile devices from threats. 💬 Have a specific topic in mind for this #mobilesecurity series? I encourage you to share it in the comments. #mobilethreatspotlight
Super nice initiative, Bastien Bobe ! Easy to understand and straight to the point, while it’s often difficult to comprehend reading the detailed cybersec articles on the subject meant mostly for professionals in the industry. Not only protecting users’ mobile devices but also educating and raising awareness is an important part in fighting bad actors. Merci!
Very informative. Thank you.

Love your new series Bastien Bobe!
Amazing starts and amazing how much creativity is deployed. Definitely no more option but to protect mobile. Ciao
Thanks a lot for starting this great initiative Bastien Bobe and very well timed and with Lookout discoveries as a source of material for your series, you have plenty of serious mobile threats to chose from. With business-critical applications and sensitive data hosted in all kinds of cloud services, also in geographies and organizations that were traditionally less cloud-friendly, cyber criminals and other adversaries have shifted their focus to obtain access via innovative ways. And iOS and Android devices for sure are a prime target for them.
