The Android 'SpyNote' malware was observed in attacks targeting Italy using a fake 'IT-alert' public alert service that infected visitors with the information-stealing malware.

The SpyNote Android malware was first documented in 2022 and is now in its third major version, which is sold to cybercriminals through Telegram.
