A new campaign of malicious photo apps on Google Play floods Android devices with random ads instead of functioning as advertised. They also elude detection by making its icon disappear from the device home screen soon after it’s downloaded.
Researchers at the White Ops Satori Threat Intelligence and Research Team discovered the Android apps — 29 in total — which they said “manifested suspiciously high volumes of ad traffic” during threat-hunting investigations, according to a recent report.
