Google's Mobile App Malware Detection?

The Android ecosystem is in a sad state of array. Who can trust it? Google itself cannot keep up with malware detection and the rates of trojan infection is increasing exponentially. Not a day goes by without a report of a malicious app. Do you think it will stop? No. Unfortunately, it is like the game of mack-a-mole.

And here I thought that game was exclusive to the Apple ecosystem.  Smiley Happy

 

More seriously, history shows that Whac-A-Mole affects any operating system with meaningful market share.  I think it says more about the financial incentives for bad actors vs the defending companies.
