CHANGE: First Instance of iOS App Store Malware Detected, Removed. “Kaspersky antivirus experts discovered a Russian-language app called ‘Find and Call’ that was available in both the Apple App Store and in Google Play. The app is essentially a Trojan that steals and uploads the user’s address book to a remote server. Once uploaded, the server then sends spam to the email addresses and phone numbers belonging to the victim’s contacts telling them about the Find and Call application. The app also grabs the GPS coordinates from the victim’s phone and uploads them to the server.”
