Forbes reported today that another warning has been issued to Android users after researchers at ESET discovered a year-long campaign that saw 8 million installs of adware delivered through 42 apps.
Half of those apps had already been removed by Google at the time ESET reported them. All the apps have since been removed by Google, however they are still available in third party stores, Lukas Stefanko, ESET malware researcher, said.
