TL;DR Summary

Over 600,000 Android devices have been infected with a subscription trojan called Fleckpe, which signs users up for premium subscription services without their knowledge. The trojan is being spread through seemingly harmless apps such as photo editing apps, smartphone wallpaper packs, and other utilities. The infected apps have been removed from the Google Play Store, but users who have them installed on their devices need to manually delete them. Subscription trojans are becoming increasingly popular with scammers, so users should be cautious when installing new apps and regularly check for unwanted subscriptions.
