Cybernews has uncovered 101 fake Android apps containing adware or malware in Google Play that collectively have over 69 million installs.
The 101 fake Android apps were all traced to the same or similar ‘privacy’ policies with only the developer’s name changed. Many have incomplete websites, and most are rip-offs of legitimate apps. But worse is that the apps go for broke requesting a vast range of permissions that could be nefariously used in the future.
