Bogus Facebook apps spreading Android malware may lead to potential Android malware. Fake apps claim to scan a user’s Facebook contacts and list all the potential girlfriends or boyfriends among the user’s friends. Many of the fake app-based malwares in circulation have purported to be legitimate copies of some of the most popular titles around. BitDefender said this is one of the few times when a direct correlation between Facebook and promoting Android apps via redirecting mobile traffic has been reported. This could be the beginning of paid promotions through Facebook, where Android app developers can actually subscribe to have their apps promoted via Facebook.
