This fake Samsung app is in more than 10 million Android smartphones

Google’ Play Store has millions of apps and games that Android users can download and use. While there are legit apps in the online marketplace, there are several fake apps as well that harm the device and maybe extract information as well. Understandably, monitoring millions of apps might be difficult for Google but that just proves how easily such apps can get through the initial process while making their way to the Google Play Store. One of such apps has made it to the Play Store and is currently on more than 10 million Android smartphones, according to a report by CSIS Security Group.
The app is being called as ‘fake’ as it is named as ‘Updates for Samsung’ and might easily fool users into downloading it considering the name. The app can still be seen as available on the Play Store.
