Google has removed these 22 apps from Play Store, delete immediately if you have any on your smartphone
Google recently removed 22 apps from its Play Store. The search giant removed the apps after security researcher Sophos found that these apps are being used for ad fraud by hackers. The list includes some of the popular apps like Sparkle Flashlight with 1 million-plus downloads. "From the user's perspective, these apps drain their phone's battery and may cause data overages as the apps are constantly running and communicating with servers in the background. Furthermore, the devices are fully controlled by the C2 server and can potentially install any malicious modules upon the instructions of the server," warned the Sophos report.
Here's the entire list of 22 apps. Read and immediately delete the ones that you have on your smartphone from the list.
