New Report shows several Play Store Games infected with Android.Xiny.19.Origin Trojan

The trojan is embedded within a seemingly normal game application, but once installed it sends identifiable information to its host server. In addition, it can launch arbitrary APK files hidden in images sent from a host server, and can leverage root access (if enabled on the device) to automatically install/remove other software. Check those permissions, people!
