Android has revealed new very serious problems for users all over the world at the moment, and this is because, unfortunately, we are talking about a revelation that should be on everyone's attention right now, it brings into discussion a new malware that has been hidden in the Google Play Store.
Android is an operating system that can normally be considered to be safe, but there are some circumstances in which it is possible that things are not exactly as people imagine, and this can give rise to problematic situations from many points of view , as it is now.
More precisely, an application called Color Messages was discovered in the Google Play Store as being available with the Joker malware, one of the most dangerous types of banking malware that exists, it has been downloaded by over 500.000 people so far , the application itself being much more popular.
Before the application was removed from the Google Play Store by Google, it gathered so many downloads that it can be considered part of a successful attack by those who thought of offering it, but from unfortunately, she would not be the only one who could be distributed in such a way in the store.
Malware has long been a problem for Android, but applications that are infected and distributed through the Google Play Store are not that common, so there is good news here because their rarity assures us that we still benefit from a certain level of protection, in the end.
However, when these applications appear, they are downloaded on hundreds of thousands of phones with the Android operating system, and in most cases people do not even know what is happening, or why they can have the money stolen from their bank accounts, example, and that's why we have to be very careful.
Google tries to remove very quickly from the Play Store any kind of applications that generate problems, so that they don't end up spending a lot of time in its store, but still, the ones that stay there long enough can cause big headaches for people.
