    This is just normal malware. Only thing it does different is hides itself from the admin screen. Don't install it or give admin permissions and you are fine. Some sensationalism here.

    Other than Mobile phones being tracking devices, it's best to have an AV Mobile solution installed. Mobile malware is a insidious as malware of any other sort.

    See thread: Is antivirus protection for a smartphone really necessary?
