Popular Android apps expose millions of users to cyber criminals

Hundreds of Google Play apps are potentially exposing Android users to hackers, according to a new study. University of Michigan researchers used a custom-built tool called OPAnalyzer to scan 24,000 apps, and found 410 that could allow cyber criminals to steal users' data and remotely install malware onto smartphones. Several of those apps are extremely popular, having been downloaded by millions of users. One even comes pre-installed on some phones.
