A commercial spyware for iOS mobile devices. The applications can work only if jailbreak is available. To install it, cybercriminals need to get access to the victim’s mobile device.
Program.Phoggi.1 runs in a stealth mode and monitors all user’s activities without their knowledge. In particular, the spyware can intercept incoming and outgoing SMS messages, get information on the user’s calls, monitor GPS coordinates and email messages, extract data from the phone book and calendar, secretly take pictures, and track the user’s Internet activities. The information gathered by the spyware is uploaded to the remote server controlled by the person in charge of spying. The license for Program.Phoggi.1 is valid for one year. Once it expires, the application stops performing its functions.
This spyware can be detected by the presence of an application called MessagingService in the Cydia directory.
