Cyber criminals have managed to bypass Android's security mechanisms and infect over 60 million users worldwide with malware. Experts from Bitdefender Labs discovered a large-scale malware campaign with over 330 infected apps.

ThreatLabz identified more than 200 malicious apps in the Google Play Store with a total of more than eight million downloads. The Zscaler cloud blocked 45 percent more IoT malware transactions than last year, proving that botnets are on the rise in IoT systems.

Google globally kicked Kaspersky's Android security apps out of the Google Play Store and shut down the Russian company's developer accounts.
