Apps on Google Play Pose As Games and Infect Millions of Users with Adware

An even bigger shock was that users were once in a while directed to safeguard apps on Google Play. These safety apps are, for sure, harmless, but would safeguard suppliers actually need to promote their apps via adware?Even if you install the protection apps, the undesirable ads doping up on your phone don‘t stop. This form of threat can be considered good social engineering. Most people won‘t be able to find the source of the challenge and will face fake ads each time they unlock their device.

I consider that most people will trust that there is a problem that can be solved with one of the apps advertised “solutions” and could follow the recommended steps, which could lead on to an funding into undesirable apps from untrusted assets.
