At least 9 Apps available on the Google Play store have been removed from the Google Play store due to embedded malicious code that stole user's Facebook credentials in addition to performing the app the user loaded.
These are the known Android apps:
- Processing Photo
- PIP Photo
- Rubbish Cleaner
- App Lock Keep
- App Lock Manager
- Lockit Master
- Horoscope Pi
- Horoscope Daily
- Inwell Fitness
These apps would offer to limit ads and provide more features if the user would authenticate to Facebook. Providing Facebook login credentials were then stolen and the App functioned as intended - other than stealing Facebook credentials and providing those credentials to the criminals.
So, if you have or have had any of the listed Apps, you might consider changing your Facebook credentials and removing the infected Apps.
