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.
From the picture, yes, Google Play is indeed malware. F-Droid is the way.
did F-Droid not have these apps?
Correct
because of better security, or more obscurity?
Because they only offer open source apps they build themselves
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.
