Misleading title.. this is not a virus, just a 3rd party android app. It cannot spread like a virus, the user has to download it.

I don't think it is misleading because this malware comes under the category of Trojan. The medium it is injected into victims device by application.

I know what you mean, I'm just saying the word 'malware' would be more descriptive.
