Titled PlaceRaider, a mobile malware program is proposed as a method for visual data (via camera) collection hidden within accessible photo sharing applications. PlaceRaider is activated by a mobile devices gyroscope and accelerometer snapping photos and gathering visual intel discreetly and without user knowledge.

The idea that such a program could exist and be deployed across thousands if not MILLIONS of mobile downloads leaves me somewhat... paranoid. @_@
