Two Android apps - "Songs" & "Prized - Real rewards and prizes" by a Mukesh Verma were caught by Trend micro researchers mining for dodge coins and bit coins. The apps were downloaded from Google play store about a million times. Google has removed the apps from the store now.
The apps ran when the phones were kept for charging so that suspicion was not aroused.
