News Synopsis

Hackers have hidden the joker malware in many android apps. It is a type of android malware that is hidden in Android apps that are continuously appearing on the Google Play Store even after many attempts to crack it down. The malware can be used by hackers to spy on the users and also get access to their data as well.

According to an advisory issued by Belgium police, many applications with this malware have been removed by the play store but somehow they end up coming back all the time. The application store has once again removed eight apps from their store but the already installed apps will still remain on the phones and the users need to uninstall as soon as they can.

Previously the news come out about these applications where the application signed up for premium without notifying the user about it. This led to users getting tricked into giving permission to these applications to being charged with huge amounts. This is the reason why the users are advised to check the apps thoroughly from their ratings to reviews before installing them on their device and giving them full access to their phone.
