Another interesting article by our partners at hackersnewsbulletin.com on Andriod malware:

A New Malware found Lookout in Android named BadNews, its name also looks like the Malware and in 32 apps across four accounts in Google Play it is, according to the Google Play statics it has been downloaded between 2,000,000- 9,000,000 times already which is a huge number, Lookout notified about that Malware to Google and Google promptly removed all apps and suspended the associated developer accounts pending further investigation, Lookout also claims that their all users are protected against this threat.

BadNews masquerades as an innocent, if somewhat aggressive advertising network. This is one of the first times that we’ve seen a malicious distribution network clearly posing as an ad network. Because it’s challenging to get malicious bad code into Google play, the authors of Badnews created a malicious advertising network, as a front, that would push malware out to infected devices at a later date in order to pass the app scrutiny.

What Badnews can do with your device?

Send Fake News Messages
Prompt users to Install applications
Sends sensitive information like Phone Number abd Device ID to its (C&C) Server.
