Researchers at Kaspersky have discovered a malware Trojan, Necro, that has affected over 11 million Android devices. That number is just from the Play Store apps, which means the actual number of victims is likely much higher.

    Wuta Camera, Max Browser, WhatsApp Mods, Spotify Mods, and Minecraft Mods were found to be infected with a Necro Sideloader. All the apps are shown to contain CoralSDK. If you downloaded any of this remove the apps and wipe your phone.

    I find it hilarious that the image is of Google Play and the title used the word “this”. Pretty misleading

      As someone de-googing, it’s not too far off in my eyes. Apps depending on GSF is a major hindrance.

      It is unintentionally correct: Google Play, and its contents, is corporate malware, people should use F-Droid to get safer and free (as in freedom) apps. Neostore is a nice app to access it.

        I got so fed up with Neostore mishandling updates and sending me constant notifications about it that I’ve uninstalled and gone with Droidify instead.

    Whatever. Kaspersky is an FSB spy tool. You should not have any of their software installed on any devices.
