One week and we have to give you bad news for Android and your app store. Because Android is a very good operating system, very stable, with great potential but … it has a huge problem. And that's what the Play Store, your official app store, it is full of questionable or direct quality apps, full of viruses and malware.
And it is not the first time that this has happened. Because unfortunately we've told you more often than not the lessons found by hundreds of apps that have "bug" in them or have asked for some undesirable permissions – such as torch applications that request access to contacts or photos – Also, as you can imagine from the title of the article, Up to 100 applications are available to download now from our Android devices.
101 apps to download now from your Android phone
Research by Cybernews, received a total of 101 applications in the Google Play Store full of malware and is extremely dangerous for the safety and privacy of users. These more than 100 applications were created by 27 "unique users" and unfortunately they have reached millions of downloads in all, 69 million to be exact.
The amazing thing is that they all had the same patterns. The first thing is that they all ask for a large number of permits to be used, many of them unnecessarily. He is accurate, as is the flashlight. Second, they all had the same privacy policy. Third, APKs (data needed to install an app on Android) appear to have been stolen by some developers. In the end, the names of its creators were at least subtle.
Because unless Kylian Mbappé or Lukas Podolski, professional footballers who pay a million euros a year, their incarceration feels worse and they have become developers, here smells like a locked cat.
As for the names of all the developers and apps that should be removed immediately, we leave them below thanking the guys from GizChina. Just click on each image to make it bigger check if you have them on your mobile device.
We see it again How easy it is to install malicious software in the store with millions of users And specifically, when all these apps not only contain malware, but instead violate all the terms that Google itself requires developers to comply with, such as false information (we doubt the best footballers are dedicated to this), duplicate content (Google Does Not Allow Programs apps that directly copy others' content or ad content (that is, apps that only serve ads).
In short and as we always say, more eye when installing apps on your device. Better follow our guide on how to get the wrong app from the Play Store without having to download it and when in doubt, it's always best not to download anything.
