Once again, malware has slipped through the Google Android vetting process to find its way onto user devices. Just as legitimate outfits such as Facebook use games as a way of capturing data and generating ad revenue so too do cyber criminals.

This time around the culprit is the appropriately named ‘Viking Horde’. Discovered by Check Point, at least five versions have managed to escape detection by Google Play malware scans. The most popular means by which the malware has been spread is via a relatively popular game called Viking Jump with between 50,000 to 100,000 downloads. The app was trusted enough to become a ‘Google Top Free App’ in some regions. The author of Viking Jump, as well as other infected apps, was listed as Nikolay Lisin.
