F-Secure says it has observed a number of Android apps being `repackaged' with advertisement modules added in, so generating revenue for the repackagers.
The good news for Android device users is that they get their apps for free, but, says the firm, it also shows how easy it is for hackers to clone an existing app for their own darker usage.
According to the IT security vendor, the repackaging of Android apps is not that new, as it saw variations of the trend with Google advertisements two years ago, although "in that case it was rogue or scareware that was being pushed by the advertisements." "What is interesting about the case is: Android application repackaging. We've seen this tactic being used quite frequently in the last few months, as it seems to be the favoured `quick; way for malware authors to produce new Android malware", says the firm in a security posting.
