   A recent scoop by Reuters revealed that mobile apps for the U.S. Army   
   and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were   
   integrating software that sends visitor data to a Russian company   
   called Pushwoosh, which claims to be based in the United States. But   
   that story omitted an important historical detail about Pushwoosh: In   
   2013, one of its developers admitted to authoring the Pincer Trojan,   
   malware designed to surreptitiously intercept and forward text   
   messages from Android mobile devices.
