We will explore Android stalkerware, air-gapped networks and XP exploits
We are just a few days away from RSA Conference 2021, an important annual event for the IT security industry and research. ESET is excited to have a strong presence on the virtual show floor, with its researchers set to host three much-anticipated sessions – a record-high number for ESET Research. The event is taking place from May 17-20 and our very own Jean-Ian Boutin, Alexis Dorais-Joncas, Zuzana Hromcová and Lukáš Štefanko will provide deep dives into Windows XP exploits and Android stalkerware, as well as into how nation-state actors have been breaching air-gapped networks.
Two of the presentations will take place on May 17, the opening day of the conference. ESET researcher Lukáš Štefanko will address “Security: The Hidden Cost of Android Stalkerware” from 11:20 to 12:00 PDT (20:20 to 21:00 CEST). Stalkerware is used to spy on users by gathering, transmitting, and storing information about their activities. ESET Research has discovered serious vulnerabilities in Android stalkerware apps and their monitoring servers that, if exploited, could have a serious impact on the victims. Based on ESET telemetry, the number of stalkerware detections in 2020 rose by 48% compared to 2019. Lukáš will cover more than 80 different families of Android stalkerware and focus on security issues and privacy flaws in their code.
