It's always a good idea to let users know that once in a while malware manages to make its way into the official Google Play Store, in spite of Google's strict policies and scanning system.
The latest revelation on the front of Google Play Store malware comes from California-based security firm Lookout, who recently discovered a very dangerous Android malware called Acecard packaged inside a benign card game called Black Jack Free (com.bjack.free).
Malicious game infected over 5,000 users
The game was uploaded to the store last week, but Lookout quickly detected the dangerous virus hiding inside it and reported it to Google's staff. Nonetheless, the app was installed on at least 5,000 devices before being taken down four days later.
