Description

Predator spyware's infrastructure has resurfaced with modifications to evade detection and anonymize users, despite previous exposure and sanctions. The spyware continues to pose significant risks, especially to high-profile individuals in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola. New infrastructure changes make tracking users more challenging. Defensive measures include regular device updates, using lockdown mode, and deploying mobile device management systems. The spyware market is expected to grow, highlighting the need for ongoing global efforts to regulate and curb its use. The resurgence underscores the persistent threat of mercenary spyware and the importance of cybersecurity best practices.
