Google Playでダウンロードしたソフトがこの有り様・・・
Googleも稼いでいる割にはこうした部分について、セキュリティ会社から指摘されているというのはどうにからならないか?
Google自体がストアのアプリをチェックしたり、違法なソフトをおいだす努力をすべきだろう。

Android apps booby-trapped to mine virtual cash

Android apps that have been downloaded millions of times have been subverted to mine virtual coins for cyberthieves, say security firms.
Two firms have found apps inside and outside the Google Play store seeded with the hidden mining code.
The programs have been mining coins for the Dogecoin, Litecoin and Casinocoin virtual currencies.
If installed, the booby-trapped apps will run down a phone's battery very quickly, said researchers.

Some of the apps harbouring the mining code were found on non-official Android stores but two of the programs, called Songs and Prized, are still available on the Google Play store. Songs has been downloaded at least one million times.
Lookout said it had seen the apps in stores popular in Spain and France.
Thieves are keen to steal computer power because virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, Dogecoin and others rely on large networks of connected machines. All those computers verify who is spending what and fresh coins are handed out for being involved - a process known as mining.
The more computer power someone can amass, the more mining they can do and, potentially, the more coins they can acquire.
