SUMMARY OF THE NEWS
Check Point security researchers recently uncovered a malware campaign on Google’s Play store that had already infected anywhere between 8.5 to 36.5 million users, as the malware was spread by several developers on the app store after a Korean company started using it. As many as 41 apps had the malware in them.
These people.... It's incredible the stuff they do.
And still most people think Apple/Google approved apps are necessarily safe to use. They won't even hear about the CIA virus leaks.
