After SKT data hack, no. of malicious apps trying to hack devices spikes
Increasing number of hacking apps pretend to be Korea Consumer Agency, suspected to be 'organized distribution' South Korea is seeing an increasing number of malicious mobile applications disguised as state or private consumer rights agencies, in the aftermath of a massive hacking attacks against SK Telecom. Local cyber security company Everspin said Monday that its Fake Finder service that detects malicious apps has found a substantial increase in programs distributed under pretense of helping consumers, who were affected by the recent data breach made public on April 22. Detections of fake apps falsely named the government-affiliated Korea Consumer Agency had been fluctuating to peak at just under 400 times in April, but the number spiked as high as 671 times between May 11 and May 18. The fake apps used in voice phishing in which victims are told their devices have been hacked via phone and text message, and are encouraged to install the malicious applications as a remedy. The attacks involve fake apps, including one carrying the name of SK Shielders, a cybersecurity company that is part of the SK Group and controlled by the SK Telecom. According to Everspin, four different malicious fake apps have been used to illegally obtain personal information, one of which was designed to intercept calls made to financial authorities and police. "Apps similarly named to (actual companies and government agencies) have been consistently detected in the past, but the recent numbers clearly indicate an organized distribution riding on a certain social issue," the security company said. IIn one of the largest consumer data breach cases in Korean history, SK Telecom's systems have been breached by yet-unidentified group of hackers since June of 2022. It is thought that 9.82 gigabytes of sensitive SIM-related data related to well over 20 million users have been stolen by the hackers.

Everspin's balance sheet remains strong and debt-free, with cash and cash equivalents of $42.2 million. Licensing, royalty, patent, and other revenue decreased to $2.1 million from $3.6 million in Q1 2024. Gross margin decreased to 51.4% from 56.5% in Q1 2024 due to a lower mix of high-margin licensing revenue. The company anticipates a non-GAAP net loss per basic share between $0.05 and breakeven for Q2 2025. Everspin's revenue is expected to be more heavily weighted towards the second half of 2025, indicating potential short-term challenges. There is uncertainty regarding potential tariff impacts, particularly concerning products manufactured in the US and shipped to China. Q: Can you explain the potential impact of tariffs on your second-quarter guidance, especially concerning China? A: William Cooper, Chief Financial Officer, explained that while some wafers are sourced from GlobalFoundries in Germany and others from the US and Taiwan, direct sales to China are minimal. Therefore, the impact of tariffs is expected to be low. Most products are assembled in Taiwan, and the importer would be responsible for tariffs. Q: Are you seeing signs of a cyclical recovery in the industrial segment of your business? A: William Cooper, Chief Financial Officer, confirmed that there are signs of improvement in backlog and traction on STT-MRAM products, indicating a potential cyclical recovery in the industrial segment. Q: Can you provide insights into the gross margin dynamics and expectations for the rest of the year? A: William Cooper, Chief Financial Officer, noted that the gross margin was consistent between Q4 and Q1 at around 51%. He expects this consistency to continue throughout the year, maintaining a 50-plus gross margin. Q: What factors are contributing to the expected second-half weighting of revenue in 2025? A: Sanjeev Aggarwal, President and CEO, mentioned that the backlog is building up, and there is a conversion of design wins into early production for STT products. This, along with the bottoming out of inventory correction, supports the expectation of higher revenue in the second half of 2025. Q: How should we view operating expenses for the rest of the year? A: William Cooper, Chief Financial Officer, indicated that operating expenses are expected to remain in the same range throughout the year, with some product development work contributing to the expenses.
