(Digital Marketing Agency)
– Security firm Avast has revealed that a new
malware has been found within Google Play store apps which begins to display
advertisements disguised as warning messages to end users when they unlock
their Android smartphones.
Avast
noticed that the harmful adware has, by far, infected the applications that
have already been well-known and excessively installed such as a card game app
called Durak. It has 5 to 10 million installs, according to
the data on Google Play.
Avast
also reported that the malware smartly controls the advertisement by displaying
adds after several days up to a month of installation instead of an immediate
post which by then confuses the owner of which apps cause the abnormal behavior
in the phone.
So far,
Google has confirmed that the mentioned malware has been adjourned.
