remove these 35 dangerous apps from your android phone now
Dangerous apps have surfaced in the Google Play Store. Although Google always screens apps when they are added or modified, 35 apps have entered the app store that can be harmful to your phone, but also your privacy. This is what the apps are about.
35 rogue apps
Cybersecurity organization Bitdefender reports no fewer than 35 apps that are dangerous. Where as a consumer you expect the apps in the Play Store to be safe, that is not always the case. Often, malicious people use handy tricks to get around Google. The apps are still in the store and can cause considerable damage after download. For example, they can spread malware or steal all kinds of data from you. As a result, fraud is lurking, among other things, which can have major consequences. So delete those nasty apps.
Below is the list of apps that you should remove from your device as soon as possible. They are often apps that sound like they are quite normal. Now, a hacker won’t get very far by calling his app “Virus Spreader” either, but these apps mostly have names that make you think they’re part of your standard cell phone apps. That is not the case. Behind each app is the estimated number of downloads per app. You certainly don’t have to let the removal of the apps depend on that, but it does give an idea of the large scale of the problem.
