North Korean government hackers snuck spyware onto the official Android app store, and tricked a few people to download it, according to #Lookout.
The spyware, dubbed #KoSpy, appears to be part of a highly targeted #espionage operation.
This is a good reminder that #DPRK hackers are not just after crypto, but are also going after people to #spy on them.
