Google security researchers have revealed that Internet service providers helped an Italian spyware company infect iOS and Android devices.

Google’s Threat Analysis Group reported that Italian spyware vendor RCS Labs cooperated with some Internet service providers to install spyware on users’ smartphones.

An authorised drive-by attack refers to tricking users into downloading software containing malicious code that enables additional downloads without the target’s knowledge. The researchers noted that the malware was disguised as messaging applications if Internet service providers weren’t involved.One method shows attackers using a fake Facebook support page with links to install Facebook, WhatsApp, or Instagram.
