Ruhe in Frieden
Lookout Mobile Security, Hersteller von der App Antivirus & Sicherheit Lookout, hat einige Wallpaper Apps gefunden, die zwar Wallpaper zur Verfügung stellen, aber im Hintergrund das Gerät zum BitcoinMining benutzen.
Die Malware verbraucht ständig Akku- und Prozessorleistung und das Gerät wird dadurch langsamer.

https://blog.lookout.com/blog/2014/04/24/badlepricon-bitcoin/Your phone is running low on battery and it seems to be working harder than usual. Would you ever suspect that it was secretly mining Bitcoin for someone you don’t know?
Lookout found a piece of mobile malware in Google Play that quietly uses your phone’s processing power to create new coins. We call it BadLepricon, and yes, that is how the malware authors spelled “leprechaun.” We hope they were going for a clever play on the word “con.”
The malware comes in the form of a wallpaper app. Google promptly removed five of these applications after we alerted them to the issue. The apps had between 100-500 installs each at the time of removal.
If you’re a Lookout user, don’t worry about doing the work without the pay. You’re protected from this malware...
