#BOYCOTT ALL #APP_STORES
How #SPIES #Snuck #MALWARE Into the #GOOGLE #PLAY_STORE - #Again and #Again |
Malicious #Android_Apps from the so-called #Phantom_Lance campaign #targeted hundreds of #users, and at least two slipped past Google's #Defenses, April 28, 2020
GOOGLE'S PLAY STORE for #Android_apps has #never_had a #reputation for the strictest #protections from #malware.
#Shady_ADWARE and even #BANKING #TROGEN_HORSES!!?
#Russian security firm #Kaspersky today plan to present research about a #hacking campaign they call PhantomLance, in which spies #hid_malware in the Play Store to #target_users in #Vietnam, #Bangladesh, #Indonesia, and #India.
Unlike most of the shady apps found in #Play_Store malware, Kaspersky's researchers say, #Phantom_Lance's #hackers apparently #smuggled in #data_stealing_apps with the aim of #infecting only some hundreds of users..
Play as a #trusted_source??," says Kaspersky researcher Alexey Firsh. "You can deliver a link to this app, and the victim will trust it because it’s Google Play??"
HELLO?
DAVIDV. APP STORES were never needed.. There is zero reason to list your Applicaiton in a app store. NOT NEEDED EVER.
Unless of course you like being ROBBED??;)
ARE YOU BEING #ROBBED IN #PLAIN_SIGHT!
#YES!
