This malware doesn't just want your personal information - it wants your picture too.
Graham Cluley Explains:
A new Android malware loves users' love of selfies. How much? Enough to ask them to take one so that it can steal access to their accounts, and potentially steal their identity.
The unnamed malware masquerades primarily as a video codec or plugin. In some cases, it arrives as a fake Adobe Flash Player app, a tactic which other Android malware including Marcher and Android/Spy.Agent.SI have employed.
Amusingly, in at least one of the instances shown above, the attackers have called their malicious app "Abode Flash Player" rather than Adobe Flash Player.
Regardless of the disguise, the end result is always the same. If successfully installed, the trojan asks users to agree to a number of permissions, at which point it idles and lays in wait. For what? For a user to have any reason to enter in their credit card details.
