Google has yet to remove two apps infected with dangerous malware that are currently still available for download via the official Google Play Store.

The apps are named “Earn Real Money Gift Cards” — an app for winning gift cards by installing other apps on your phone — and “Bubble Shooter Wild Life” — a mobile game. Both apps were developed and recently uploaded on the Play Store by the same developer, named Boris Block.

The apps were first spotted by security researchers from SfyLabs, and later by the Zscaler team. Both companies said they informed Google. At the time of writing, both apps are still available on the Play Store, but they still have a low install count, with less than 5,000 downloads.
