Although mobile apps continue to be secure, there are still many instances where programs that work to enforce strict security policies are used to prevent theft and stealing personal information or placing ads on our mobile computer. These malicious apps have come to download 382 million times.
VPN Pro reveals combinations of malicious applications
The VPNPro company was analyzing 23 of the 101 best-known VPN companies at the time they found the most wanted case. Developer Hi Security, the owner of 3 services, has been exposed for fraudulently using our cellphone permissions.
To investigate VPN programs, they came to Shenzen Hawk, a developer who installed multiple applications in his product center, which are distributed to various Google Play developers. These applications had fraudulent permissions on make phone calls, take pictures and record video and audio, among many other skills.
In total, all use of these developers reaches a total of 382 million downloads, including them as a potential risk to users.
What worries the situation is that all of these encounters with Shenzen Hawk developers are under a big umbrella. The company, which has many applications, is sponsored by TCL, the type of mobile phone that has since been licensed to produce Blackberry software. Does it have to do with the fact that this merger of apps has to do with the termination of Blackberry's contract? Not at all
Should I be worried about applications? If they are not installed on your phone, you should not. After Forbes' Zak Doffman contacted Google, he eliminated 24 malicious apps from the Play Store. Google has responded that security and privacy reports are considered very important, which means that "If we find things that violate our policies, we will take action."
