TL;DR Summary

An Android app called "iRecorder - Screen Recorder" was found to have been secretly recording audio and sending it to an unknown location after being "trojanized" with malicious software during an update. The malware, known as AhRat, is a remote access trojan that can be used to remotely access victims' phone data and send it to outside developers. While it's unclear who or what was controlling this latest version of AhMyth, past generations have been used for cyberespionage. The app has since been removed from Google Play.
