Google nukes dozens of Android apps after malware scare.

"Google has pulled a host of free applications from its Android Market storefront following reports that the apps were infected with malware. More than 50 Android apps -- credited to developers Kingmall2010, we20090202 and Myournet -- are said to contain the DroidDream malware, which seeks to gain root access to the user's device, collecting a range of available data and downloading more malicious code to the smartphone without the consumer's knowledge or consent."
