Hi all
This file was downloaded today to my Note 10.1
Dont kniw where it came from, didnt initiate the download, and I cannot identify it in any other way.
Its in the download file of the external card, and I am curious if anyone can tell me what it might be, what it does, or if I should get rid of it
Thanks !

DO NOT OPEN THAT APK!!! Looks like it's a well-documented piece of malware: https://blog.commtouch.com/cafe/malware/compromised-yahoo-accounts-spread-android-malware/.

Delete with extreme prejudice!
