Image
Speaking this week at the Kaspersky Security Analyst Summit in Singapore, Android security engineer Maddie Stone shed new light on the years-long battle between Google's mobile operating system and a particularly nasty malware known as Chamois. As Decipher reports , beating the botnet was far from easy.
