Malware: Android game is not really a game

Another proposal was neoplasm of the Android Marketplace

. Game called Tapsnake is not just a game, it turns out to be a customer commercial application called spyware GPS SPY .

Tapsnake game looks like the average Snake clone. However, there are two hidden features. Firstly, the game will not exit. Once installed, it always runs in the background, and then restarts automatically when you start your phone. And secondly, every 15 minutes of play secretly reports the location of the GPS in your phone to the server.

GPS SPY is simple, portable tool for spyware and costs $4.99. If you buy that requests to the board to download and install the game Tapsnake to the phone you want to spy on. When you install the game is registered keycode to espionage. This means that the spy must have physical access to the phone wants to spy on.

In many ways, GPS SPY / Tapsnake may be seen as the younger brother of mobile spying tools like Flexispy. GPS SPY developed by Russian developer based in Texas, Mr Max Lifshin (Maxicom).
