Android warning: Delete these apps from your phone or pay the price

ANDROID users have been warned to delete 116 apps that have been found to be ridden with harmful malware in a new security report.
Android is by far the most popular mobile operating system with over 2.5 billion users. That makes it a prime target for malicious third-parties that want to infect devices across the globe with malware. Most recently, the team at Barracuda Security discovered almost 200 apps that contained either adware or a suspicious combination of device permissions. And now cybersecurity company White Ops has identified 116 apps – with more than 4.6 million downloads between them – it claims are performing ad fraud.

Google's terrible Android problems exposed by a very unlikely source

The firm said the apps are leveraging a type of code it nicknamed “Soraka” and a similar variant named “Sogo”. In a nutshell, the code allows the programmes in question to display adverts over an Android device under certain circumstances.

White Ops performed a deep dive into one of the apps in question that remains on the Google Play Store at the time of writing, Best Fortune Explorer. The app seems a tantalising premise – get a glimpse into your future – but the reality is much more frustrating.

The app was noted to leverage a framework called AppsFlyer that’s used for mobile attribution and marketing analytics. According to the security firm, if you download the app through any kind of promotion (such as on a website for example), then intrusive adverts will plague the device in question.

White Ops showed a GIF of the frustrating promotions in action. Best Fortune Explorer was exhibited to be capable of displaying full screen adverts (that last up to 20-seconds in some circumstances) over a user’s home screen.

All of the apps discovered were noted to demonstrate similar behaviours. The adware being used was noted to be capable of hiding, making it harder to detect by apps designed to root out malware like VirusTotal.

Speaking with Forbes, White Ops’ John Laycock said: “Those hiding behaviours are significant. The fraudsters are getting smarter—they know this is now an arms race, they’re trying to slow down analysis with these tactics. We’re seeing these types of behaviours more and more.”

You only need to take a read of Best Fortune Explorer’s reviews to see that something is seriously wrong with the app. Numerous comments note after installing it their phone has been burdened with annoying adverts.

One Android user said: “Totally useless. After installing, you get so many unnecessary ads. While writing this also, I got 4 ads. This is like a virus for your phone.”

Android still has a terrible problem as Google's issues exposed by a very unlikely source

Another wrote: “Don't download it. You will just time pass. And main problem after download is you will get non-stop adds and adds. Even you cannot get to use anything. And also there is nothing like shown in adds. It is like a virus.”

At the time of writing, Best Fortune Explorer has amassed over 100,000 installs and has an average review rating of three stars.

According to Forbes, Google has been informed of the apps discovered by White Ops. However, it seems some of the 116 programmes remain on the Play Store.

White Ops urged Android fans to remove any of the apps in question if they have them installed and provided the package names for each.

Eto'o urges Salah to join Barcelona in 'the best league in the world'

The former Nou Camp star reckons that the Egyptian forward has everything it takes to succeed in La Liga but prefers Barca to Real as his destination Mohamed Salah has been encouraged to leave Liverpool and join Barcelona by former Blaugrana striker Samuel Eto’o. Salah has been in incredible form for the Anfield outfit since joining from Roma in the summer of 2017. He scored the opening goal in their Champions Leaguefinal victory over Tottenham on June 1, one of 54 goals in 74 appearances. Those performances have caught the attentions of Europe’s top clubs with the Egypt international forward linked with joining Zinedine Zidane’s new galactico project at Real Madrid. But Eto’o who, like Salah, played for Chelsea in a storied career, believes the 27-year-old would be better off at Barca. The former Cameroon international also spent time at Madrid, playing in their academy and making three appearan...

Serena Williams Goes Topless in Support of Breast Cancer Awareness Programme

Tennis star, Serena Williams has come out of her comfort zone for the Breast Cancer Awareness Programme last month. Serena went topless and recorded a version of The Divinyls’ global hit, “I Touch Myself”  to remind women to check themselves regularly.  “Yes, this put me out of my comfort zone, but I wanted to do it because it’s an issue that affects all women of all colors, all around the world. Early detection is key - it saves so many lives. I just hope this helps to remind women of that," she wrote. She added, "The music video is part of the I Touch Myself Project which was created in honor of celebrated diva, Chrissy Amphlett, who passed away from breast cancer, and who gave us her hit song to remind women to put their health first.

5 Questions About Hell Answered

Shutterstock.com Hell is mentioned in the Bible numerous times including in Matthew 8:12, which says, “The children of the kingdom will be driven out into the darkness where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.” Hell is also mentioned related to internal destruction in 2 Thessalonians 1:9 which says, “These will pay the penalty of eternal ruin, separated from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power”. Hell is also described in great detail in Revelation 14:11 which says, “The smoke of the fire that torments them will rise forever and ever, and there will be no relief day or night for those who worship the beast or its image or accept the mark of its name”. From these descriptions of hell in the Bible, we know that it is a place of final judgment and a place of anguish. There is no place on earth that truly compares to hell. No human truly has a sense of what hell looks like or feels like. No experiences of pain and torment on this earth parallel ...

WhatsApp to stop working on some mobile phones in 2020

WhatsApp has revealed that the messaging app will stop working on some smartphones in 2020. This is what you need to do. It’s currently available on select versions of the devices but will cease to be from December 31. WhatsApp said: “You’ll no longer be able to use all Windows Phone operating systems after December 31, 2019, and WhatsApp might not be available in the Microsoft Store after July 1, 2019.” It’s not just Windows phone owners that are going to be disappointed though as WhatsApp will also stop working on several Android smartphones and iPhones next year. As of February 1, 2020, people using Android versions 2.3.7 or older will not be able to create new accounts or reverify existing accounts. Credit: AFP The same fate will apply to users of iPhones running on iOS 8 or older. If you have a Windows phone and want to save your chat history before it’s gone forever then there is luckily a fairly simple way to do this. You just need to open the chat you wish...

Alex Looks Flawless And Gorgeous in Pink Dress (Photos)

Alex stuns in new photos Ex-big brother naija housemate, Asogwa Alexandra Amuche Sandra aka Alex has stunned in latest photos she shared online.  Alex wore the gorgeous pink dress which complimented her perfect skin while hosting a fund raising Dinner to aid Breast Cancer patients. Sharing the photos on her page, she wrote: "Last night will forever be etched in my heart. @projectpinkblue Thanks a lot for the fulfillment and inner peace I feel this morning. Time and money spent helping people do more for themselves is far better than giving just because you can. Now I understand why the Bible says we should emulate Christ like qualities. We become His influence, his hands and heart for everyone around us. God intervenes in people’s lives all the time but we seldom document this special faith and hope building events. Yesterday was a hope raising day and I’m happy I was part of it. " See more photos:
