Geinimi Trojan targets Android devices!

Geinimi Trojan sends location co-ordinates, unique device identifiers, and a list of installed apps to a remote server. Trojan is distributed inside applications, primarily games, that are redistributed on third-party Chinese Android app markets. Lookout advises Android users to only download applications from trusted sources and to check the permissions made by applications on app requests. The Trojan has “botnet-like” capabilities, according to Lookout, as it can respond to remote requests, but Lookout is yet to find evidence of a control server sending commands to Trojans on individual devices.
