Android users who have installed a popular application from Google's Play Store onto their phones might be shocked to find out what it's capable of. Security researchers at ESET discovered the software - which has been downloaded some 50,000 times - is able to attack users, track their location, steal text messages and even record private conversations via a bug called AhMyth RAT.
It's clearly a very worrying development which is why Google has rushed so quickly to ban it from the Play Store. The application, called iRecorder – Screen Recorder, has used a clever tactic to infect devices and bypass Google's strict security rules.
