Computer security firm, Symantec has said the largest-ever Android malware campaign may have duped as many as 5 million users into downloading infected apps from Google's Android Market, Computer World has reported. Dubbed 'Android.Counterclank' by Symantec, the malware was packaged in 13 different apps from three different publishers, with titles ranging from "Sexy Girls Puzzle" to "Counter Strike Ground Force." Some of the 13 apps that Symantec identified as infected have been on the Android Market for at least a month, according to the revision dates posted on the e-store.
