In an attempt to protect yourself online, you might have downloaded a seemingly safe antivirus app that turned out to be a malicious app spreading dangerous spyware. Unfortunately, it may have come via a random Telegram or strange text message from a friend too.
The LunaSpy Android spyware program was reported on in a recent Kaspersky blog post which revealed that the spyware has been infiltrating phones since at least February of this year. Allegedly, LunaSpy can be sent via messaging apps and sold as an antivirus program and sometimes as a banking protection app.
