Russian security firm Doctor Web has found a new strain of advertising spyware in more than 100 Android apps downloaded from the official Google Play Store. The trojan collects nearly 30 pieces of information about the users device and transmits them to a remote server operated by a attacker. Android users are urged to install an anti-virus solution on their devices and to install apps only from trusted app developers. Google has begun to remove some of the malicious apps from the Play Store, which are believed to have been downloaded by a staggering 3.2 million users.”]
