Norton Issues Warning on the Following Android Apps

Earlier this week Norton informed the world that cybercriminals were targeting smartphones by releasing apps ridden with malware into unofficial Android Marketplaces. Now they announce that cybercriminals have actually infiltrated the official Android Market using various publisher and application names.

According to Symantec Sources 50,000 – 200,000 took place within a four day time frame when the malicious apps were on the Android Marketplace. Google has since removed the apps.
