MALWARE IN ANDROID MARKETPLACE



Don't be fooled, your desktop is not the only device which can be hit by Malware in this day and age. In a blogpost, Symantec identified several titles on the Android Marketplace that are being used to distribute a certain strain of malware which can steal information on command. For these said malicious apps, the offending code is grafted on the main application with a package clad apperhand. Another sign of infection would be a Search icon above on the home screen.

Check out the list below for the apps that have been identified as carriers for this rotten bit of malware and do take appropriate measures to rid yourself of them as quickly as possible. Symantec will be investigating further and will post more information when they get it.
