Landfall: Commercial Android Spyware Exploiting Samsung Zero-Day Flaw
A new Android spyware called Landfall exploited a zero-day vulnerability in Samsung Galaxy devices for nearly a year, enabling surveillance activities like call recording and data harvesting, primarily targeting Middle Eastern users. The campaign used sophisticated, targeted attacks likely linked to a well-resourced actor, possibly connected to the UAE government, though definitive attribution remains uncertain. Samsung patched the vulnerability in April, but related exploits continued to be observed until recently.
