iRecorder – Screen Recorder was a legitimate Android app available to download from the Google Play store. Its purpose is very clear from the name. Until August 2022, that's all it did: let you record the screen. But an update gave iRecorder powers that turned it into a spying tool. iRecorder got the ability to use the microphone to capture audio data every 15 minutes. It also allowed the creator to download certain types of files from the phone.
After ESET researchers discovered its malware abilities, Google removed the app from the Play Store. But you might still have it installed on your Android phone and/or tablet. Therefore, you should delete it as fast as possible.
