    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 find it hilarious that the image is of Google Play and the title used the word “this”. Pretty misleading

      As someone de-googing, it’s not too far off in my eyes. Apps depending on GSF is a major hindrance.

      It is unintentionally correct: Google Play, and its contents, is corporate malware, people should use F-Droid to get safer and free (as in freedom) apps. Neostore is a nice app to access it.

        I got so fed up with Neostore mishandling updates and sending me constant notifications about it that I’ve uninstalled and gone with Droidify instead.

    Doesn’t the play store have their “Play Protect” thing they’re always shoving in my face? Why didn’t that pick this up before 11 million people installed the app?

      Because play protect is a piece of shit that is not very reliable. Google mostly uses it to block installation of apps or remove apps that they don’t like such as cracked apps, or apps that are used to crack other apps.

      The real malicious apps are typically able to sneak past it.

    Whatever. Kaspersky is an FSB spy tool. You should not have any of their software installed on any devices.
