The company's 10th such report, released today, found that analysts could identify a new strain of malware every 14 seconds. It says some phones by manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi contain modified apps designed to spy on users or display advertising.
G DATA spokesman Christian Lueg says the phones appear to have been installed by middlemen, but in tracing the source "we lost the trail in China." Users can detect the malware with free software.
