Trojan Horse Discovered Inside iOS App Store – Warning, Kaspersky blogresearchers have discovered an Application on the iOS App store and Google Play called ‘Find and Call‘ this application affected your Android and iOS devices by a trojan horse as the both stores have the same “Find and Call” application.
You have to know that installing Find and Call application on your device would basically uploads your contact book information to a third party server, where the server could then send messages to every one of your contacts telling them to download the Find and Call application from the iOS App Store with a link to download it. Additionally, the application would pretend that you were the one to send the message by causing the caller ID on your friend’s phone to display as if you sent the message to them.
After receiving your friends to the fake messages they would have a great chance to download it, because they have received it from their trusted source and after installing the application, your friend’s contact list would also be infected and uploaded to the third party server, we don’t know what information else uploaded to the third party server, i think that Apple has improved its upcoming iOS 6 firmware by allowing users to choose whether or not an application can have access to your personal data
