To understand the challenges facing U.S. government agencies, Lookout analyzed data specific to our federal, state and local customers from the Lookout Security Graph. The graph, which includes telemetry and more than 175 million apps, enabled us to identify and break down the most prominent mobile threats agencies face. For this report we specifically reviewed data from 2021 and the first half of 2022.

Using data collected from the Lookout global sensor network, the Lookout research team was able to gain unique visibility into the ViperRAT malware, including 11 new, unreported applications. We also discovered and analyzed live, misconfigured malicious command and control servers (C2), from which we were able to identify how the attacker gets new, infected apps to secretly install and the types of activities they are monitoring. In addition, we uncovered the IMEIs of the targeted individuals (IMEIs will not be shared publicly for the privacy and safety of the victims) as well as the types of exfiltrated content.

The purpose of this research, sponsored by Lookout, is to understand the value of the data we access and store on our mobile devices and if we are doing enough to protect that data.
