INTSIG appears to be owned by CC Intelligence Corporation, which is based in Shanghai, China, the Milpitas address listed on the company’s website notwithstanding. For example, if you use OneDrive or OneDrive for Business, the latest version of the OneDrive app can scan just fine.Ī couple thoughts on INTSIG: If you’re familiar with government or military jargon, that company name might strike you as interesting, to say the least, being just a jumble away from SIGINT, short for signals intelligence, a term used to refer to gathering intelligence derived from electronic signals and systems.

You might already have an app on your mobile device that does these things. For document scanning, ABBYY FineScanner, Microsoft Office Lens, Adobe Scan, Scanbot, Tiny Scanner, FineScanner, and Genius Scan are good options. Other good options are ABBYY Business Card Reader, ScanBizCards, Sansan, CardHQ, and Zoho Card Scanner. This app’s user interface isn’t the prettiest, but it does a lot, produces very small PDFs, and just works.

If you want to scan business cards and typical business and personal documents and create tight, small PDF files from them, a good bet is Mobile Doc Scanner (MDScan) Lite by STOIK Soft, which is free, or its big sibling Mobile Doc Scanner (MDScan) + OCR that adds a nice list of additional features for just five bucks. There are lots of good document and business card scanner apps on the market, many free and the rest cheap.

If you’ve used the same password at their website as you’ve used at other services (a no-no we’ll talk more about some other time), make sure you change your passwords at the other services.

If you opened an account at their website to use any of the features that require that, log in and delete any information you’ve stored there. Remove this CamScanner and its sibling apps, CamCard and CamCard for Salesforce, from your devices immediately. This app’s vendor, INTSIG, has demonstrated who they are and what they are willing to do to you. It can do pretty much whatever it wants on your device because it’s not constrained to doing only what it was created to do at the start. That gives this malware a lot of latitude. Instead of just spying on you (Did you say “just” spying?) or stealing your information, it checked in now and then with a server run by bad guys for instructions for it to follow and to download additional malware onto your device. The malware that was present in several recent versions of the app is one of the scarier kinds of malicious code. (We can help with that, but you probably figured.) However, versions of the app that do include malware started appearing in Google’s Play Store several weeks ago, which illustrates why it’s so important to apply intelligent security to the management of mobile devices.

Further, it did not, as far as we can tell, include any malicious code for years. It performed well in our testing at Symphony Systems when we compared several mobile document scanner apps a few years ago. It was, by many accounts, a very good business card scanner, providing accurate scans and some nice features. This app already had over 100 million downloads (no, that’s not a typo).

Security researchers at Kaspersky announced no more than 24 hours ago the discovery of malware in the very popular CamScanner document and business card scanning app for the Android mobile operating system. However, here at Symphony Systems we’re always on the lookout for the exceptions, and here’s the latest one. Apps I download from Apple’s iTunes or Google’s Play Store are safe, right? Well, usually.
