Android Rougeware targeting “Stevens Creek Software”

We have received a new malicious Android malware, which is using the names of popular games and the applications published under the name “Stevens Creek Software to get installed on the user mobile.
And the interesting thing about this Rougeware is that unlike other android malware which ask for numerous permission before getting installed; it asks for only three permissions.

After installation is shows the below message

When the user click on the screen, after multiple redirects,leads the user to websites advertising an online income solution.

To avoid such situations we request the user before installing the software to check the publisher of
the paid version and free version are same.

Thanks Sandip for providing the details.
