The Google Play Store is at present the world’s biggest and most well-known shop for portable applications, which is introduced as standard on practically all Android cell phones.
The Play Store has billions of clients, which obviously additionally makes it an objective for cybercriminals. Shockingly, Google isn’t known for the best security. In this manner, 56 new pernicious applications have been found there once more.
Despite intensive efforts, Google simply cannot keep malware developers off its Play Store. The company is implementing newer protective measures, but the developers always seem to be one step ahead of the company.
This is confirmed by the latest report from Check Point Research, which has been dealing with cybersecurity for years. It reads that they recently discovered 56 malicious adware applications (known as “Tekya”) in Google Play that easily bypassed Google Play Protect system security.
The process was limited to mimicking clicks on ads that generated substantial revenue. The applications described can be found in various tools, from pocket calculators to translators. The full list of malicious “Tekya” applications discovered by Check Point Research is as follows:
