A powerful Android trojan with novel code injection features that posed as a game was distributed through the Google Play Store before its recent removal.

The Dvmap trojan installs its malicious modules while also injecting hostile code into the system runtime libraries. But Dvmap has other tricks up its sleeve. Once successfully installed, the malware deletes root access in an attempt to avoid detection.

Dvmap was distributed while posing as a game. Developers bypassed the store's security checks by uploading a clean app at the end of March. They then updated this with a malicious version for a short period of time before uploading another clean version.
