Google Play Store hit by massive Android malware infiltration.

A new Android malware named 'Goldoson' has infiltrated Google Play through 60 legitimate apps that collectively have 100 million downloads. The malware can collect data on installed apps, WiFi and Bluetooth-connected devices, and the user's GPS locations, and perform ad fraud by clicking ads in the background without the user's consent. The impacted apps have been removed from Google Play, but the risk still exists on third-party Android app stores. Users can remediate the risk by applying the latest available update and looking out for common signs of adware and malware infection.
