Two dangerous apps on Android - more than 1.5 million downloads - remove them on a phone right away
Despite the tough policies that Google has begun to take in its Google Play store, it has not succeeded very much in reducing the applications and games that seem "innocent" in the "Google Play" store, but it is really full of advertising software "Adware" Users to other companies, some of these applications have been downloaded by millions of users, which means that the overwhelming majority of affected Android users do not even know that their devices are infected.
This software has again succeeded in entering the Google Play store armed with new methods and technologies. This time, a report found that two camera apps that were available on the Google Play Store had successfully flooded the user with ads and spying on them and collected more than 1.5 million downloads.
The report comes from Wandera Mobile Security, which found that my camera app is called the first Sun Pro Beauty Camera and has more than one million downloads, while the second app - Funny Sweet Beauty Camera - has just over 500,000 downloads. Luckily, both have since been removed from the Play Store.
Wandera reports that after testing, she found that the apps were using a trick by creating a shortcut on the home screen, then deleting themselves from the drawe system to keep them hidden. This makes it difficult for users who are not technically well-versed to delete applications, because deleting in the usual way will simply remove the shortcut.
In this way the application can remain active, and works hidden in the background, and display annoying ads to the user. Not to mention the exploitation of energy and processor as well as RAM. Also dangerous in the subject is that these applications have powers related to access to private information in the phone, it can record sound from the microphone of the phone at any time.
So if you have these apps in your phone, you should immediately remove them from the apps list in Settings.
