In a shocking announcement, a Researcher found a once-legitimate app on the Google Play Store turned sour and started secretly recording audio every 15 minutes. An Android app iRecorder Screen Recorder is busted secretly recording audio and sharing it through an encrypted link, to the developer's server. In another case, an app called 'Voice Recorder' was found to be recording audio even when the app was not in use. The app had been downloaded over 1 million times before it was removed from the Google Play Store.

A report from ESET speaks in-depth on how an app called ‘iRecorder Screen Recorder’ went from an innocent app to a spy tool. The app had some 50,000 downloads, though Google has since removed it from the Play Store along with other apps by the developer, ‘Coffeeholic Dev.’ It is worth noting that ESET didn’t find signs of malice in other apps by Coffeeholic.
