Researchers at Kaspersky have discovered a malware Trojan, Necro, that has affected over 11 million Android devices. That number is just from the Play Store apps, which means the actual number of victims is likely much higher.

Wuta Camera, Max Browser, WhatsApp Mods, Spotify Mods, and Minecraft Mods were found to be infected with a Necro Sideloader. All the apps are shown to contain CoralSDK. If you downloaded any of this remove the apps and wipe your phone.

    I have a lot of questions about who is downloading all these camera Apps.

      I mean I’m sure it’s anyone not satisfied with the built in app

        Yeah, but it doesn’t seem likely they’d be satisfied with these apps either. I mean. It’s not like they’re feature rich. They’re a shell app intended to be malware for the most part. So you’d end up installing it and then going “this isn’t what I wanted” and then uninstalling it, I would think. Photoshop Express is like $4 (might be more now, haven’t checked).

          Photoshop Express requires a monthly subscription which is a practice seen as trash by the general population.

            Didn’t know that. I generally do photo editing on a computer so it’s not like I’m downloading a bunch of camera apps.
