Malware in Android Apps?

Malware in Android Apps?

Last year, an Android-based malware virus called HummingBad spread worldwide. Which currently has around 85 million Android devices in the world. This virus is available in 46 applications, out of which 20 applications have been designed so that it can easily pass the Google Security Check process. HummingBad is the only virus in which all the Android malware variants of this time have been infected with such a huge amount of Android device.

The most interesting thing is that this virus would not have been used to steal such a big loss or data. It was used on Android mobile to download and install various non-monitored apps and install it and earn money from it. As a result, this HummingBad's creator earns about $ 3 million per month from this.

The virus was first detected in February 2016.
A checkpoint report in 2016 revealed that Yingmob, a Chinese advertiser, acts as the main backbone in the process of creating this virus. It is also known from the CzechPoint report that this HummingBad virus generated nearly $ 300,000 per month, with nearly 200 applications of this virus coming out.

Recently, researchers claim they found new versions of this HummingBad in more than 20 applications. Whose name is HummingWhale Its job is just like before. Firstly, it will show unauthorized ads to the user, and if the user removes it to stop it, then it will install the advertiser company's app without the permission of the mobile background.
