More Malware-Infected Apps Found In Android Market

Trailrunner7 writes "For the third time in the last few months, Google has had to remove a slew of malware-infected apps from the Android Market and suspend some publishers. Ten Android apps in the Official Android Market are known to be infected, but many more could be victims of the Plankton Trojan. Researcher Xuxian Jiang claims that early variants of the Trojan have evaded detection for as long as two months."

Good point. I usually prefer Panaphonic products, especially since I'm boycotting Sorny and generally unhappy with the product quality from Magnetbox.
