It is partially premined, which means that there is a solid part (10%) of the total final supply that is being distributed by some group of people based on their criteria (we don't know either people or criteria).

In addition, the national character of this currency (the name associated with Israeli state and the fact that a part of premined supply is provided only to Israeli citizens) contradicts with another basic principle of crypto currencies - globalization. At first glance, besides the national attributes, Isracoin does not have any additional special features that would motivate people to prefer it over Bitcoin, Litecoin, or other crypto currencies.

There are Android (malware) apps with crypto-currency mining capabilities. This malware is involved in the mining for various digital currencies, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. The apps were injected with the CPU mining code from a legitimate Android cryptocurrency mining app; this code is based on the well-known cpuminer software. The coin-mining apps discussed above were found outside of the Google Play store, but we have found the same behavior in apps inside the Google Play store. These apps have been downloaded by millions of users, which means that there may be many Android devices out there being used to mine cryptocurrency for cybercriminals.
