One of these things is not like the others.



No, not the "Full Guide" — we're referring to the "Bad Pigs" by Dan Stokes.

The app's description:



Wow. More than 10,000 installs since May 25, 2013.

AppBrain, an Android app portal, doesn't correct for relevance, so "Bad Pigs" ranks first.



Dan's contact address is: hgfdhsdgjhd@gmail.com.

That's fishy.



AppBrain has a very nice feature which lists "Concerns" as well as permissions required.



Boy, that's a long list of extra permissions. These particular piggies aren't just bad — they're evil.

Dan Stokes has a few other apps as well.



"Fruit Chop Ninja" also has more than 10,000 installs.

And here's an interesting note: the app ID, and therefore the URL, includes the word "Rovio".



Our Mobile Security product detects and blocks this as Android/FakeInst.CI.

We've reported the issue to Google (and Rovio) and the apps are no longer indexed by Google's search.

Stay safe out there.
