According to German security company G Data, the spyware, called Uupay.D, is capable of intercepting personal data transmitted over the phone, such as banking data, phone calls, email messages and text messages. G Data said- Uupay.D can also remotely control the phone's camera and microphone, and covertly install more malware onto the device.
