Vault 7: CIA Developed Android Malware That Works as an SMS Proxy


TideCheck app
WikiLeaks published today the manual of another CIA hacking tool part of the Vault 7 leak series. This tool is referenced internally at the CIA under the name of HighRise and is an Android application for intercepting and redirecting SMS messages to a remote web server.
According to the leaked manual, HighRise only works on Android versions from 4.0 through 4.3 (Android Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean), but the document is dated to December 2013, and the tool was most likely updated in the meantime to support newer versions of the Android OS released during the past four years.
