To be fair, this app does explicitly ask for permission to listen to your phone calls, which is a lot more information than the equivalent app would have on a traditional operating system.
- mrb 15y agoNo, it asks for RECORD_AUDIO which does not allow recording while calls are in progress. There is even an Android bug open about the inability to record calls: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2117 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2117 This malware seems to be using an unknown method to record calls. The blog post is so poorly written and so light on details...
- nodata 15y agoSo record audio and intercept outgoing calls can't be combined? Hm. Okay.
