Anti-Virus Companies Now Flag Malware China Installs on Tourists’ Phones.

Multiple antivirus companies are now explicitly
flagging in their products an app that Chinese authorities were planting
onto the phones of tourists at the country’s border. Tuesday, a collaboration
between Motherboard, Süddeutsche Zeitung, the
Guardian, the New York Times, and the German public broadcaster NDR revealed Chinese authorities are installing the malware—called BXAQ or Fengcai—onto
travelers’ Android devices at a border crossing into Xinjiang, a Western part of China.
