A few months ago, I wrote a post about an flashlight application that could subscribe to premium SMS services without cost permissions.
Only Permissions: Internet, get user accounts and Read SMS
Malware get the telephone number from whatsup and telegram account.

I develop a free and simple app for:
- Detect these permissions in installer apps.
- Notify if any of these applications are installing in real time.
- Mark Trusted apliaciones. (exclude facebook, etc...)
- Obtain data about the existence of these malware to try to make a blacklist

HI!

Thanks for sharing your app.

Also, please take the time to introduce yourself in your Meet & Greet forum category so that you can better get to know the people who might eventually install your app.

If you have any knowledge about developing to share with your fellow developers, we have a Developers category for this purpose as well.

Thanks! :grin:
