Analysis of the DroidDream malware suggests that it can gather sensitive data like a mobile device s IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number and user ID. DroidDream has the ability to download additional code once it has infected its host, meaning that Google s application removal feature alone will not be. sufficient to protect victims whose phones are already rooted. In short: DroidDream is a professional job: stealthy with multiple functions including the. ability to gather valuable data and enhance its capabilities.
