With mobile devices now an integral part of our lives, as they are used for a plethora of tasks, the attempts to breach their security are constantly increasing. A target that we see increasingly coming under the radar of malefactors is the apps of the Google Play Store.
Those who prefer Android software represent a large part of the mobile device user base, especially in our country. On the Google Play Store, we can find a plethora of apps that facilitate our daily lives and make using our devices more enjoyable and intuitive.
Lately, unfortunately, malicious software has been detected in some of these apps. So there is a new list of malicious apps that, as discovered by cybersecurity researchers, carry malware. Although Google has removed most of them, if you have already installed them, you must uninstall them immediately from your phone to protect your personal data.
The list is as follows:
- Cool Caller Screen
- Document Manager
- RGB Emoji Keyboard
- Camera Translator Pro
- Colorful Messenger
- PSD Auth Protector
- Fast PDF Scanner
- Thug Photo Editor
- Special Photo Editor
- Anime Wallpaper
- Smart Keyboard
- 4K Wallpapers
- Coin Track Loan
- Peace SMS
- Happy Photo Collage
- Original Messenger
- Pellet Messages
What makes these apps extremely dangerous is that seemingly they may not have cast any doubt about their reliability, as most have over 50,000 downloads globally and good user ratings reaching up to 4.8 stars. To always be protected, make sure that the apps you download are always certified by trustworthy entities.
