JAKARTA - Cybersecurity company, Avast, again revealed a report about a malicious application for smartphone users. These popular applications are still circulating on the Play Store and will be dangerous if downloaded by Android users.
Avast says there are 21 applications that mobile users should avoid. The average application is an online game. Moreover, the application belongs to the HiddenAds family.
HiddenAds is an application that bombards a number of advertisements after users install it. This dangerous phenomenon is nothing new as it already exists across multiple software platforms.
Avast first noticed this when scanning the Google Play Store app store. The research team realized that there were a number of reviews that contained the same advertising promotional material as the 21 HiddenAds applications.
Where the application also attracts users by creating deceptive advertisements. After that, they'll start haunting customers with more ads. Not only that, advertisements also appear outside the application itself.
Not without risk, this has the potential to make cellphones infected with viruses and annoy users. Therefore, to avoid various malicious applications, it is not enough just to use Google to protect your cellphone from adware, ransomware, spyware, and all kinds of trojans and other viruses.
Users are advised to first look at app reviews before installing it. It should be noted, the large number of downloads does not mean the application is safe. We recommend that users also choose wisely the applications they want to download.
For that, Android users should avoid downloading the list of 21 applications listed below, as quoted from PhoneArena, Monday, October 26.
