Corp MDM Spyware Targets Logistics Firms, Steals New SMS and Redirects Calls

Summary: A new Android spyware campaign codenamed Corp MDM is distributing a malicious APK through fake Google Play pages branded as CEVA and TKW Logistics, using the package name "com.corp.mdm" and a hard-coded command-and-control IP address (69.55.61[.]82).
