💨 Abstract

Western intelligence agencies have issued a warning about a growing threat from Chinese security services using malicious mobile phone applications to surveil opponents, including Taiwanese independence activists, Tibetan rights advocates, and Uyghur Muslims. The malware, known as "BADBAZAAR" and "MOONSHINE," can extract sensitive information and give operators access to devices' cameras, microphones, and location data.
