    NEW: Researchers have have exposed yet another spyware maker that makes fake Android apps for its government customers. The apps were pushed with help of telecom providers.

    And it's yet another Italian company: IPS. Until now, IPS was only known to make traditional wiretapping surveillance systems.

    The researchers tied the spyware to IPS thanks to an IP address used in its infrastructure that was registered to “IPS Intelligence Public Security.”

      If you're counting at home, this is a list of spyware makers from Italy, which have come out since the 2015 breach of Hacking Team, which at the time was the main player in the country.

      • CY4GATE
      • eSurv
      • GR Sistemi
      • Movia
      • Negg
      • Raxir
      • RCS Lab
      • SIO

      And now IPS.
