Google Play Apps with 1.5 million installs found sending sensitive data to China: Details
India TV NewsMalicious file management applications posing as legitimate apps have been discovered on the Google Play Store, collectively accumulating over 1.5 million downloads. These apps, disguised as file management tools, secretly exfiltrated sensitive user data to malicious servers based in China. Although the apps claimed not to collect any data on the Google Play website, the security researchers found that they collected highly personal information from users and sent it to multiple destinations, primarily located in China and identified as malicious. While Google Play Store employs security measures to minimize the presence of harmful apps, some still manage to slip through the vetting process.
