    Hello All!

    Google Play Removes 9 Apps for SECRETLY HARVESTING Facebook
    Passwords! (Report)

    Security researchers at Dr. Web found ten "trojan" apps (nine
    of which were available on Google Play) have been downloaded
    5,856,0101 times. They masqueraded as innocent smartphone
    assistants but in reality were stealing FB login details.

    The apps reportedly include: Processing Photo, App Lock Keep,
    Rubbish Cleaner, Horoscope Daily, Horoscope Pi, App Lock
    Manager, Lockit Master, Inwell Fitness, and PIP Photo

    Users were tricked into remove in-app adverts by logging in
    through Facebook, when a JavaScript code was used to hijack the
    details.
