The established name for this sort of "phishing" malware is "Trojan horse malware" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing) - a malicious computer program which is designed to appear non-suspicious and mislead users wrt. its malicious activity. The irony is that the complex "app-specific privileges and permissions" system featured on mobile OSs was specifically intended to prevent mobile "apps" being used as dangerous trojan-horses, as was - to a lesser extent - the model of centralized "app store" repositories. It's not working very well.

In this case, we're specifically dealing with spyware - a common sort of malware where the malicious activity is invading the user's privacy.
