Malware Alert : Remove These Malicious Apps From Your Phone Or Tablet

According to security research firm Bitdefender, 35 malicious apps on the Play Store with more than two million downloads are attempting to steal personal information and showing unwanted ads. The applications spread over to many popular categories, including GPS apps, photo filters, and wallpapers. They have all amassed tens or even hundreds of thousands of downloads and utilize a variety of cunning strategies to remain undetected. You need to immediately uninstall any of them from your phone if you have any. Be aware that some of them may have changed their names or icons to resemble the Settings app on your smartphone.

Along with stealing user passwords and financial information, the hackers who are responsible for infected programmes also monetize their presence on the Play Store by selling advertisements. These adverts are annoying in addition to having direct links to malware. While many trustworthy programmes show users advertisements, the 35 risky apps that Bitdefender's anti-malware research team discovered show advertisements using their own framework, which means users who use them may also become infected with malware.
