It would be nice if the article actually named the app rather than just the developer. Does anyone know the app name?

- orangecat 16y agoIf you search the market for "Jackeey" you'll get several dozen wallpaper apps. I think the article is treating all of them as a single app, which explains the "1.1 to 4.6 million" downloads: they just added up the lower and upper bounds of the ranges for each individual app. And as I said above, they don't appear to be requesting permissions that would let them do most of the nasty things described.
- cludwin 16y agoI did some digging and ... The article doesn't mention which app was malicious however they did mention that the app publisher went by the name of "jackeey,wallpaper". I ran some queries and it seems like the developer that publishes apps under "jackeey,wallpaper" also publishes under "jackeey.wu". A list of the apps published by this developer are here (most of which are wallpaper apps): http://andbot.com/developer/jackeeywallpaper http://andbot.com/developer/jackeeywallpaper http://andbot.com/developer/jackeey-wu http://andbot.com/developer/jackeey-wu http://andbot.com/developer/jackeeywu http://andbot.com/developer/jackeeywu
- cludwin 16y agoI compiled a more comprehensive list of the apps that could be affected and I'll be updating it when I find out more info: http://andbot.com/blog/index.php/2010/07/29/android-apps-suspected-of-stealing-your-information/ http://andbot.com/blog/index.php/2010/07/29/android-apps-sus...
