"Morpheus, a new malware identified by Osservatorio Nessuno, masquerades as a phone updating app and is capable of stealing a broad range of data from an intended target's device."
"The researchers labeled Morpheus as 'low cost' spyware because it relies on the rudimentary infection mechanism of tricking targets into installing the spyware on their own."
"IPS, the Italian company behind Morpheus, has been operating for over 30 years and provides lawful interception technology to various law enforcement agencies."
"More advanced spyware makers, such as NSO Group, utilize zero-click attacks that install malware invisibly by exploiting vulnerabilities, contrasting with Morpheus's installation method."
Morpheus is a new spyware identified by Osservatorio Nessuno, masquerading as a phone update app to steal data from targets. The spyware is produced by IPS, an Italian company with over 30 years of experience in lawful interception technology. The report indicates a high demand for spyware among law enforcement and intelligence agencies, leading to numerous companies providing such technology. Morpheus is considered 'low cost' as it relies on tricking targets into installing it, unlike more advanced spyware that uses stealthy zero-click attacks.
