Only a few weeks after the malware known as XcodeGhost was found to be affecting apps on the App Store, Apple has removed another 256 apps found to be collecting personal user information. The analytics service, SourceDNA, has discovered that hundreds of apps in the App Store were using an advertising SDK from China to collect personal data, such as Apple ID email addresses and other private information used to track users. It is estimated that around one million people have downloaded the apps.

Last week was a relatively flat week for Apple stock (NASDAQ: AAPL), as the share price fluctuated between $112.75 and $109.56, ultimately closing the week at $111.04 after opening on Monday at $112.73. The volume was low as well, reaching a high of 44.3 million during trading on Wednesday. Trading could pick up this week as the FY 15 fourth quarter results call approaches (Tuesday, Oct. 27th 5 p.m. ET).
