The number of apps on mobile marketplaces contaminated with malware grew from 80 to 400 during the first half of 2011, according to a study by Lookout Mobile Security.
Android users are particularly at risk of downloading contaminated apps from markets and download sites. Two of the most commonplace threats, DroidDream and GGTracker, were regularly hidden into repackaged gaming apps or utilities and uploaded to Android app marketplaces.
