Android Video Malware found in Japanese Google Play Store

Trojan promises to deliver trailers for upcoming video games or anime or adult-oriented clips, but also requests “read contact data” and “read phone state and identity” permissions before being downloaded. The apps had been downloaded by at least 70,000 users, McAfee says. McAfee Mobile Security detects these threats as Android/DougaLeaker.A, the company said. The Trojan app gathers the Android ID not IMEI code that can uniquely identify the device, but the 64-bit number that is randomly generated on the device’s first boot.
