How to Recognize Malicious Apps on the App Store: Many of us use third-party apps on our smartphones. Internet giant Google has recently removed 36 such camera apps from the Play Store. Some of these applications were downloaded by more than one million people. Such apps insert unwanted ads and malicious files into the phone.
Those 36 apps are on the list: Benbu Selife Beauty Camera, Pinut Selife Beauty Camera & Photo Editor, Mood Photo Editor & Selife Beauty Camera, Rose Photo Editor & Selfie Beauty Camera, Selife Beauty Camera & Photo Editor, Beauty & Filters Camera, Photo Collage & Beauty Camera, Beauty Camera Selfie Filter, Catoon Photo Editor & Selfie Beauty Camera, etc. Applications.
According to a report by the White Ops Threat Intelligence and Research Team, scammers launch a new fake app every 11 days on average. When Google tries to remove such fraudulent applications from its Play Store, scammers come up with new and creative ways on how to trap users. Today we will tell you how to understand that no app is safe. Apple Removed about 30,000 apps from the Chinese App Store.
1. You can verify the developer's contact address to learn about the application. The developers of most bogus applications use Gmail and Yahoo National Free Emailing Services for their apps.
2. If you find an application that has no developer information, you can easily assume that it is a malicious app.
3. Looking at the app description in the Play Store, it is often understood that the apps are fake. Fake applications often contain short and flawed descriptions.
4. Google offers "Verified by Play Protect" badges on secure apps. Always look for this badge before downloading an application.
5. Also, if an unwanted pop-up appears after installing an application, it may be a fake app.
