Chrysaor: Android spyware designed to hack smartphone cameras discovered

An extremely sophisticated Android app designed to spy on users has been discovered by security researchers. Called Chrysaor, it's capable of spying on users through their smartphone camera and microphone, as well as accessing messages, emails, contact details and browser history. In Greek mythology, Chrysaor was the brother of Pegasus, the winged horse. The spyware was thus named because it's believed to be linked to Pegasus, spyware that was found to be targeting handsets running iOS last year. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
