Android malware Joker infiltrated Google Play Store again

In Google Play were found eight applications downloading Joker (Bread) trojan. This malware is notable for the fact that it stealthily subscribes to premium services. Malware can also intercept SMS, steal confidential data and contact lists, install a backdoor, generate fake reviews, and display intrusive ads.

This behavior was demonstrated by the following applications (already removed from the store):

  • Auxiliary Message
  • Element Scanner
  • Fast Magic SMS
  • Travel Wallpapers
  • Free CamScanner
  • Go Messages
  • Great SMS
  • Super Message
