CallJam malware infects Androids and keeps ringing premium rate numbers
A new mobile malware known as "CallJam" loves to continuously hit up premium phone numbers from the Android devices it infects.
Just like other Android trojans (such as Android.Xiny.19.origin and the DroidJack remote access tool), CallJam likes to masquerade as downloadable games in the official Google Play Store.
Specifically, this particular malware takes the form of a game called "Gems Chest for Clash Royale." As many as 500,000 people have downloaded the malicious app since someone first uploaded it to the Google Play Store back in May 2016.
