Security firm Symantec is warning of new malware masquerading as two apps on Google Play that claimed up to 100,000 victims before the malware was removed.
The Trojan would secretly send text messages from the victim's device to a premium rate number, resulting in a high phone bill.
After sending texts to the premium rate number the app would uninstall itself.
A researcher at Symantec said: "What is most interesting about this Trojan is the fact that the threat managed to stay on Google Play for such a long time,"
