Apps on Google Play Steal Facebook Credentials

ESET analysed two new samples of malware on Google Play masquerading as games called Cowboy Adventure and Jump Chess. The apps contained a Trojan functionality allowing them to carry out Facebook phishing attacks. Google has since taken down both of the apps and now displays a warning before their installation on Android devices. The number of potential victims may have been up to one million, but thankfully many were able to avoid being tricked by this scam as negative user comments helped prevent them from entering their Facebook user name and password.”]
