A new Android trojan has cropped up that records phone calls and related information, according to a blog post by an employee of security company Total Defense. The trojan is triggered when the Android device places or receives a phone call. It saves the audio file and related information to the phone’s microSD card, and includes a configuration file with information on a remote server and settings used by the trojan.
The best part of this is that the app tells the user it has the ability to “intercept outgoing calls,” and people still seem to be installing it.
I really hate that Apple approves every app before it is available to the general public.
