Apple’s first iPhone application containing malware has been found in their Apple Store.

The Trojan app called ‘Find and Call’ in both the Apple Store and Google Play for Android was found stealing and spamming users’ email and phone contacts after sending the details to a remote server.

Messages then sent from the email of the phone’s owner encouraged their contacts to buy the programme and transfer money through PayPal to a company called ‘Labwealth.com’

While its creator has not been confirmed, security consultants at Kaspersky Lab identified the PayPal recipient as being in Singapore.

Both apps are also able to upload user’s GPS coordinates to the same server but such “feature” is not that new for both malicious and legal apps

As of late Thursday the app has been removed by Apple and Google.

The app’s discovery comes as a significant breach to Apple as no previous incidents of malware have been reported within their store since its launch five years ago.
