NEW: Researchers have have exposed yet another spyware maker that makes fake Android apps for its government customers. The apps were pushed with help of telecom providers.
And it's yet another Italian company: IPS. Until now, IPS was only known to make traditional wiretapping surveillance systems.
The researchers tied the spyware to IPS thanks to an IP address used in its infrastructure that was registered to “IPS Intelligence Public Security.”
