Fake Samsung firmware update app dupes over 10,000,000 users

Over 10 million Android users have been tricked in downloading a fake Samsung app called ‘Updates for Samsung’ that assures you of constant firmware updates. However, all it did was redirect users to an ad-filled website that has a price for firmware downloads.

As per a report by ZDNet, Aleksejs Kuprins, malware analyst at the CSIS Security Group said, “I have contacted the Google Play Store and asked them to consider removing this app.”
