A previously undocumented strain of Android spyware with extensive information gathering capabilities has been found disguised as a book likely designed to target the Uyghur community in China.
The malware comes under the guise of a book titled “The China Freedom Trap,” a biography written by the exiled Uyghur leader Dolkun Isa.

“In light of the ongoing conflict between the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Uyghur community, the malware disguised as the book is a lucrative bait employed by threat actors (TAs) to spread malicious infection in the targeted community,” cybersecurity firm Cyble said in a report published Monday.
