Malware Apps With 2 Million Install Pose Risk For Android Users: Find Out Why

More than 2 million people have been tricked into installing malware, and phishing apps that have bypassed Google’s security checks to show up on the Play Store. The apps have been installed by over 2 million apps which is no small feat and raise concerns about Google’s apparent security standards of approving apps before they are listed on the Play Store for downloads. Apps like TubeBox have been downloaded 1 million times and the report from Dr Web puts this app on the dubious list. Some of the other apps spotted on the Play Store in October were: – Bluetooth device auto-connect – 1,000,000 downloads – Bluetooth & Wi-Fi & USB driver – 100,000 downloads – Fast Cleaner and Cooling Master – 50,000 downloads In addition to these, Dr Web was also alerted to fake loan apps that were directly linked to Russian banks and investment groups.
