Apps that inject malware into your smartphone

An app capable of injecting malware into a smartphone has been found in the Play Store. These apps with ‘Joker’ malware steal information as well as weaken the security of the smartphone and secretly help in accessing other harmful malware. Cyber ​​security company Pradio has found four such apps in the Play Store.

The ‘Joker’ malware apps that have taken place in the Play Store, avoiding Google’s security, are Smart SMS Messages, Blood Pressure Monitor, Voice Languages ​​Translator and Quick Text SMS. Google has removed the apps from the Play Store after receiving allegations of malware. However, the apps have been downloaded around one lakh times around the world before being deleted. That’s why security experts have advised users to delete apps from their smartphones quickly.

Cyber ​​security experts say that in order to protect yourself from harmful apps, you need to find out about the developers online before downloading the app. You need to know the experience of other users about the app. You should also refrain from downloading the app by clicking on unfamiliar links found online.
