Thanks for the links. I wasn’t aware of those, it sounds like PlayStore level of crapware in those cases, although you have to be REALLY dumb to be fooled by such obvious ones. But if you’re a very technically challenged person I am sure it is possible.
But the case with the LastPass clone is definitely much more malicious.
I am surprised this happened, it’s the first case of anything like this that I have heard of. Do you know of any other cases?
really?
