Watch out for these apps! Here are the applications that threaten your security!
Four of the applications mentioned below are actually HiddenAds malware. At first glance, they look like games, but after downloading, they try to become invisible either by using Google Chrome’s icon or by using a transparent icon image. These applications run silently in the background and run a series of ads without you noticing to generate income for their developers. Here are their names:
- Super Skibydi Killer – 1,000,000 downloads
- Agent Shooter – 500,000 downloads
- Rainbow Stretch – 50,000 downloads
- Rubber Punch 3D – 500,000 downloads
The next group of applications is from the FakeApp family and their purpose is to redirect users to investment scam websites. Some of these are:
- Eternal Maze (Yana Pospyelova) – 50,000 downloads
- Jungle Jewels (Vaibhav Wable) – 10,000 downloads
- Stellar Secrets (Pepperstocks) – 10,000 downloads
- Fire Fruits (Sandr Sevill) – 10,000 downloads
- Cowboy’s Frontier (Precipice Game Studios) – 10,000 downloads
- Enchanted Elixir (Acomadyi) – 10,000 download
We have good news for you here. The applications in question were noticed by Google Play Store and removed from the market. However, the apps will continue to run silently in the background if you have them pre-installed on your phone. That’s why we recommend you do a good scan.
