"MOBILE SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTOR Google has removed 26 malware infected apps from the Android Market that are believed to have compromised the personal data of thousands of users.

Security firm Lookout said that the apps were likely created by the same developers who were responsible for a previous attack of Android malware called 'Droiddream' back in March. This affected 21 apps that were also suspended from the Android Market.

Given the moniker Droiddream Light, the malware had code associated with previous Droiddream samples and is believed to have affected between 30,000 and 120,000 users. Magic Photo Studio, Mango Studio, ET Team, BeeGoo, Droidplus and Glumobi were the six developers named as publishing malicious apps with names like Sexy Legs, Volume Manager, Quick SMS Backup and Tetris.

None of the apps actually needed you to launch them on your device for the malicious bits to work, instead relying on an incoming voice call."
