Report Warns Of An Android Trojan But Fails To Provide The Name Of The App

The audio file is stored on the phone, and it does not appear that the recording is being transfered to another computer on the Internet, although it appears the information is put on the phone to be able to perform the transfer.

What Computer Associates found is called a trojan because the unwanted behavior is hidden within an otherwise innocent appearing app.
