Trend Micro malware researcher Echo Duan has said that over 400 malicious apps have successfully been uploaded to the google play store. All the apps are believed to be from a single attacker, one of the apps has clocked up half a million downloads.
The malware has been disguised as many different applications, these include themes, phone boosters and also various games.
