Android. A very important and very old problem that the Google company does not seem capable of solving is damaging the phone you use in your everyday life without knowing it. I'm talking about the fact that a trend regarding the launch of more and more applications with adware has included hackers, who distribute more and more applications that bring them a lot of money from the Android platform, but which damage users' phones.
Android. More precisely, today we are talking about two applications recently discovered in the Google Play Store, they contain malicious code that is meant to display ads in the background on phones with this operating system. Sun Pro Beauty Camera and Funny Sweet Beauty Selfie Camera are the two Android apps that were designed to inject malicious code with ads into users' phones, with the ads being displayed off-screen and when the apps were closed.
Android. This MAJOR PROBLEM WILL BREAK YOUR PHONE WITHOUT YOU KNOWING
Android. The biggest problem only comes in here, because displaying these ads in the background on phones consumes battery power, keeps the processor, RAM, video card busy, and of course generates internet consumption. This whole process physically wears out the components of the phone, which gets hotter when it is used normally, and of course all this heat destroys the components over time, substantially reducing their life, thus ruining the phones.
“Adware is usually seen as a problem for the end user. However, mobile adware can kill productivity leading to more serious repercussions for businesses. Intrusive in-app ads interrupt users mid-workflow, brick their devices, drain device battery, and in some cases, infected devices have to be replaced altogether. Adware allows authors to make money from infected devices, and while it's usually considered more of a problem than a severe threat, these particular apps have more advanced functionality than your average adware.”
Android. Unfortunately, those at Google do not detect applications of this kind, and most of them change their main icon, creating a shortcut in the list of applications, so they are almost impossible for users to delete. All this technique brings the developers of these applications very high incomes, which ultimately affects the users of Android phones to a great extent, and until now Google has not found any solution.
Android. Having said that, if you ever notice that your phones get too hot when you use them normally, or that there is too much internet consumption, think that you might have applications with adware.
