This report examines an Android 'Brazil 2014 World Cup' app that incorporates Airpush and Revmob advertising SDKs to collect extensive device and personal data—IMEI, MAC address, Android ID, phone number, email, SMS, location and device metadata—and sends it to third parties; the author deems it aggressive adware (violating Google Play policy) that poses privacy, tracking and spam risks rather than overtly malicious behaviour.
