The Google Play Store is the official application store for mobile devices with an operating system. Android, because this site is considered one of the safest places to download programs and games without fear of some kind of virus entering your smartphone; however, some cybercriminals are dedicated to creating applications with the intention of introducing you to a malware virus, which is capable of stealing your personal information and even bank details.

The incredible thing about everything mentioned above is that these applications that appear to be “harmless” manage to circumvent the security and privacy filters of the google play and finally they are published to be downloaded by any user. In this opportunity, from Mag we will show you the list with the programs that contain malware, if you have installed some of these we recommend that you eliminate them immediately.

It is not the first time that Google publishes applications infected with viruses, there is already a history, but, this time the technological portal specialized in cybersecurity, we refer to SecneurX, detected 18 apps with malicious software inserted, the same ones that currently have thousands of downloads. These are the famous Hydra and Joker malware, both of which continue to camouflage themselves and make identification difficult.

It is important to clarify that some applications have been removed from Google Play and others are still available, although it is likely that they will disappear in the coming days, so be very careful and avoid running into this software. Another thing to note is that if they are removed from the Play Store, this does not mean that they will also be uninstalled from your cell phone, they will continue to operate normally, so we recommend you delete them manually.
