Last month, Google Play Store researchers discovered some extremely harmful adware and data-stealing malware apps. Users were asked to uninstall it from their phones. It was also reported that these apps will no longer be visible on the Google Play Store. Surprisingly, at least five of them are still available on the Google Play Store. These apps have now received over two million downloads, according to reports. According to Bleeping Computer, spyware apps can also take data from other apps. Let us warn you that the riskiest apps for Android phones are adware and data-stealing Trojans.
How does this Android malware work?
This adware malware on Google Play Store can bring unwanted ads to your Android smartphone which can generally be intrusive, drain the battery, cause overheating, degrade the user experience, and even can also do financial transactions. Worst of all, it generates revenue for remote operators by requiring users to click on affiliate advertisements. That data-stealing malware is also very dangerous because it can steal login credentials for websites you log in to frequently, including social media and online banking accounts!
