System Android is notorious for its security issues and flaws. Although Google has introduced many measures and features over the years to improve security and privacy on devices with the system Android, malicious content just keeps popping up. Now that's what happened with a photo app that can steal your personal data.
According to a new server report Bleeping Computer in an app called Craftsart Cartoon Photo Tools hides a trojan named "FaceStealer". It tries to ask you to add your Facebook username and password and then sends it to Russian servers.
