Identity Theft
Apps on Google Play Steal Facebook Credentials
Reported by itsecurityguru.org
With 500,000 – 1,000,000 installs, Cowboy Adventure was a relatively popular game on the Google Play store. That popularity in itself is unremarkable: however, the developers of the app also used it as a tool to harvest Facebook credentials, and that did raise a few eyebrows. It was one of two games spotted by ESET malware researchers that contained this malicious functionality, the other one being Jump Chess.
