If you have Any of these Apps;
- Open the Google Android Menu.
- Go to the Settings icon and select Applications.
- Next, click Manage.
The breach was first discovered by a Reddit user Lompolo, when discovered that the developer of one of the malicious applications, “Myournet.” had posted pirated versions of legitimate apps under his name. Lompolo analyzed two suspicious applications and found that they contain exploit code "rageagainstthecage" root exploit - binary contains string "CVE-2010-EASY Android local root exploit (C) 2010 by 743C" ("rageagainstthecage", is a tool commonly used to root the phone. In legitimate circumstances, ). A blogger at Android Police took a closer look at the malicious applications and verified that they do indeed contain exploit code that can root a user’s device as well code that can send sensitive information (IMEI and IMSI) from the phone to a remote server. Android Police also found that there is another APK, hidden as assets/sqlite.db, "DownloadProvidersManager.apk" hidden inside the code, which can steal additional sensitive data.
The Lookout Security Team identified a large number of additional Apps released under the developer names “Kingmall2010″, “we20090202″, and “Myournet” contain DroidDream and have been suspended from the official Android Market.
My question is the time it took to control these apps, the way how people and developers can contact Google. According to Lompolo;
"Yes, thank you, I was aware of it. I have been trying for more than a week now to get Google to do something about it. I've contacted them through every avenue I could think of, but haven't had a response yet...until today. It seems the developer and all his apps have been removed from the market"There has to be better way of notifying security issues. The security firm finally managed to contact the Google and get the apps off the market.
In any case, if you have downloaded any of these apps, remove them immediately, if they are not removed already.
