The 17 apps were spotted by security researchers from Zscaler and designed to steal SMS messages, contact lists, and device information, along with silently signing up the victim for premium wireless application protocol (WAP) services. Zscaler security researcher Viral Gandhi said the apps were uploaded on the Play Store this month and didn't get a chance to gain a following, having been downloaded more than 120,000 times before being detected. https://fudzilla.com/news/51608-goog...rom-play-store
