An android miner/all-in-one trojan named Loapi was discovered by Kaspersky last month. As smartphones with passive cooling aren't exactly designed to be run with max CPU usage most of the time, this threat can cause your device to overheat, damaging physical components. All, so that the cybercriminals can make 0.00001 cents.

The malware also seems to detect antivirus/internet security software on your phone and attempts to remove it.
