Android 9. A very big problem that affects the users of this version a OS, was announced by the Google company for users around the world at this time. We are talking about a problem with 29 applications that have already been withdrawn by Google from Google Play, they were created to steal from Android 9, and previous versions of the operating system, to steal photos from people's devices that they installed .
Android 9. The applications discovered by the people from Google arrived in the store without its employees knowing about this, and apart from the theft of the pictures, they also displayed advertisements that were not very suitable for users. Some of these applications had been discovered and analyzed by those from Trend Micro before Google made the decision to remove them from the store, so that many users of Android 9, and not only, were affected by their existence in Google Play .
Android 9 has been used to steal pictures from phones, and not only that
Android 9. To hide exactly what they are doing, the developers combined the installation packages in multiple archives, and communications with their own servers were also encrypted, so initial analysis was impossible. What's worse is that deleting these applications from Android 9, or previous versions, was almost impossible because of the way those applications were designed, some of them being hidden in phones to be much harder to remove.
Case in point: the company recently pulled 29 camera and photo apps from the Play Store after it became clear they were meant to push intrusive ads, scam users and even steal content. Multiple apps will push full-screen ads, including porn, and some will use the opportunity to run phishing scams that steal your personal info under the guise of contests.
Android 9. Some of the applications even had over 1 million downloads, so we are talking about a very big problem that many users faced, and Google did not "move" that fast to solve it. Although Google removed these applications that affected Android 9 and previous versions of the operating system, it is very possible that many others exist and cause similar problems.
