Infectious apps are all the rage and, in fact, in recent weeks we have seen the resurgence of a huge amount of content that has been developed to steal user information and, above all, access privileged accounts such as those of the bank or company credentials.
Taking into account the situation in which we find ourselves, the different companies that are dedicated to fighting malware release statements showing the applications that are malicious and that are found in the application stores. In this last case, the Dr.Web researchers are the ones who have sounded the alarm.
In this case, 28 applications have been found that are part of this list of applications that contain a Trojan made for information theft. This Trojan would take control of the device, to such an extent that in some situations it is capable of completely corrupting the terminal to the point of death.

All these applications are infected with this Trojan, and in the case of having any of these contents on the mobile phone, it is best to completely eliminate the application. In the Google app store most of these apps are no longer available, although three of them can still be downloaded..
Logically, it is best not to download them since they have been able to bypass Google’s protocol and sneak into this application platform. Apart from eliminating them, it is also convenient to review the charges in the bank and block any type of collection from unknown entities.in addition to discussing it with the entity.
