The apps will really slow down your phone
Android mobile phone users are being urged to delete 38 apps that used to be available on the Google Play store. A security expert warns the applications came with a malicious hidden feature, as developers tapped into Minecraft popularity with copycat games.
All the apps have now been deleted from the Play Store, but the type of attack is capable of generating major cash as mobile phone users are unaware their device is being slowed down by adverts hidden in the background. McAfee Mobile Research Team recently discovered 38 games with hidden advertising. These HiddenAds applications discovered on the Google Play Store and installed by at least 35 million users worldwide, have been found to send packets stealthily for advertising revenue in bulk."
