These 9 apps are dangerous for your phone, Google removed, you should also delete immediately

  The analyst has found 10 malicious apps that are stealing Facebook user's login and passwords. 9 out of 10 apps were available on Google Play Store, which Google has now removed.

 

• The Android ecosystem has encountered a new batch of viruses that hide in applications. Nine of these were available on the Google Play Store until recently. A new study from a cybersecurity firm has revealed that 10 such apps were found to be laced with a trojan virus. Some of these apps have been downloaded 5 million times. While Google Play Store may have removed these apps, users who might have downloaded the apps should also delete them from their device to steer clear from any further compromise.
• According to the report, the applications were fully functional when they were first downloaded. This caused users to drop their guard against any potential harm. Once the app was in use, the applications offered users some extra benefits if users logged into their Facebook accounts. One of the benefits was to disable in-app ads. The advertisements inside some of the apps were indeed present, and this maneuver was intended to further encourage Android device owners to perform the required actions.
• If users agreed and clicked the log-in button, they saw a standard social network login form.
• The report further claims that the malicious programs received settings for stealing logins and passwords of Facebook accounts. However, the attackers could have easily changed the trojans’ settings and commanded them to load the web page of another legitimate service. They could have even used a completely fake login form located on a phishing site. Thus, the trojans could have been used to steal logins and passwords from any service.
