Yesterday, we saw Google release a list of the best Android apps and games of 2021. Today, we have come across a report suggesting that a number of Android apps, with over 300,000 downloads, are primarily banking trojans that steal users’ banking data, including two-factor authentication (2FA) codes, passwords, and more. These apps used nifty tricks to sidestep Google Play’s restrictions against fraudulent apps and successfully got into user devices to steal their data.
So, if you are an Android user, be sure to get your apps and games from trusted developers on the Play Store. Also, we suggest you avoid downloading apps and games from unknown third-party sources to keep your device free of malware-laden apps.
