This scenario sounds totally plausible to me. There are well over a million apps available on the Google Play store. It is unreasonable to think that none of them would be embedded with malicious code. I have been using my Android Gingerbread equipped phone for over 4 years. My Android KitKat equipped tablet is basically the same, just a prettier interface. The more I use Android, the more I dislike it. I have been running a security program on my phone and tablet from day 1, but still get prompted to download suspicious apps or get peculiar pop-ups in the browser. Some of the pop-ups do not permit the user to go back or cancel, requiring a total reboot to clear the prompt. As much as I dislike Apple, I am starting to think there may be an iPhone in my future.
