McAfee researchers have found a malware called ‘Xamalicious’ on the Google Play Store posing a threat to Android devices. Crafted within a Xamarin open-source framework, the malware infiltrated roughly 327,000 devices through seemingly harmless apps.

Three compromised apps had over 100,000 installations each before their removal.
