‘I Want to Expose Google’s Mistakes’: Hacker Blamed for Big Android Fraud

And now, Android security experts have pinned a spike in banking malware on Maza-In and that post. They claim that Maza-In, in one fell swoop, caused a sudden leap in Android banking fraud, as cybercriminals took that open sourced code and adapted it to spread both in and outside Google’s official Play store.
