According to a report published recently by antivirus provider Kaspersky Lab, Skygofree is most likely an offensive security product sold by an Italian-based IT company that markets various surveillance wares.
With forty-eight different commands in its newest version the malware has undergone constant development since its creation in 2014.
It relies on 5 separate exploits to gain root access that allows it to bypass key Android security measures.
Skygofree is capable of capturing video, seizing call records, taking photos, grabbing text messages, getting geolocation data, retrieving calendar events, and even business-related information stored in the device memory.
