Malware on Android Users Now Able to Record Conversations?

Malware who fondle the Android operating system was never heard before.
Some of its effect is quite stratified, ranging from the most severe, no damage, and there are also applications that have bad intentions in order to collect personal information such as user name, location, device information, and so on.
Now, as quoted PULSAonline via Electronista, it was reported that the malware on Google's platform is capable of recording the user's phone call. That's as it is said Dines Venkatesan, a researcher from the CA Security.
The way these viruses work, that is by tricking users to installed a virus that mimics the prompt dialog persetejuan the permissions of the default applications in the Android Market. Once installed the malware will be embedded in the device and will add a remote server configuration file.
Impact, every time you make phone calls, conversations are then recorded into AMR files on the SD card users. And, through a remote server configuration file, the malware placed it somewhere. Presumably the software might be able to upload your recorded conversation to the online server.
"As is well known that this is the year of mobile malware, we recommend that smartphone users will be more logical and practicing the basic principles of security while surfing and install any application," lid Dines Venkatesan.
