The Google Play Store is filled with hundreds of thousands of apps and games. Although these apps and games can make our everyday lives easier, some of these can also steal our personal information through malicious activities. Earlier this month, we shared a list of Android apps that come with the “Joker” malware. Now, a security company has found more apps on the Play Store that might steal your money if you download them on your device.
Now initially, there were 20 apps on the list provided by Sophos. The company submitted this list to Google and as a result, some of these apps were removed by the Mountain View-based software giant from its digital marketplace.
