Mobile Malware: Request for Field Reports
At my last two speaking engagements, I asked a simple question: "'Have you, or anyone you know been infected with malware on you smartphone?" So far, no one has raised their hand.
I'd like to ask the same question here, since there's a much wider audience of people who have the skills/instinct to notice such an infection.
If you, or someone you know (no friend of a friend reports, please) have witnessed a mobile malware infection in the wild please leave a comment below or send in a report via our contact page.

So with that note...if you live in other countries, and suddenly you see Text/Phone calls going to foreign countries, then your phone may be infected.

ndroid app - GPS, camera, contacts, etc. It also includes a JS API library (Apache Cordova) that can access these functions via the Webview. All in all its a neat little setup that could potentially allow a bad to tailor functionality on the fly as long as the Android device has Internet connectivity (and the app is running).
