Just a few hours ago I informed you of the existence according to Kaspersky of a new Trojan that would use the TOR network to do its thing without the user even realizing it and on top of that without leaving any trace of their misdeeds.
Now on this new occasion and as well indicated by our friends and colleagues de androforall, Chema Alonso, a well-known and prominent Chippers would have discovered malicious code in the application Night Vision Camera which is still available today in the Play store for download and installation of any Android user.
The aforementioned and well-known hacker Chema Alonso he would have thoroughly scrutinized the apk of the application and would have made it available to everyone on his own blog the parts of code that are assumed to be malicious and that they would give the app permission to receive and send SMS as well as intercept them so that the user does not realize that he is subscribed to one of these so-called services of Premium SMS They charge you exorbitant amounts with each receipt of a new message received.
How can you see in the screenshot that just a few minutes ago I made with my personal computer, the app is still available in the official Android app store. Hoping that in the next few hours Google take action against this allegedly malicious applicationWe urge you not to download it and to anyone who has it installed, run to uninstall it and take a look at your mobile phone bill so that you will not have an unpleasant surprise at the end of the month.

Greetings.
How do you know that it is not a negative publicity campaign against the application or the company that develops it?
Obviously, giving the device those capabilities is not possible. Clearly it is an application that only colors the viewfinder of the camera, but from there the ball of malicious code is suddenly watered, as it is, to say the least, weird.
In addition, in Google Store they are not so slow as not to analyze the applications that upload in their store. Enough resources and staff that they have for it.
Let's hope the pronunciation of Google in this regard that media has enough also to reach its users.
To find out why you don't install it and tell us a friend, it is still available in the Play Store for download.
Greetings.
What an answer Francisco ...
