A wallpaper application in the Android Market has been exposed by mobile security firm lookout as being possibly malicious. The app, developed by Jackeey pulls information from the users phone, including the SIM card number, voicemail password and other personal details. The app then sends the information to imnet.us, a site registered in China. The app was discovered during an analysis of personal data mining within the Android ecosystem. Google has yet to respond to the situation.
