Forbes magazine expert Zach Duffman revealed the apps that should be removed from the smartphone immediately.
According to Dufman, the Google Play Store includes eight dangerous apps that steal a user’s personal information and bank data.
Dufman confirmed that these programs contain a hidden “Trojan horse” called Clast82, which can install any malware on the device.
Clast82 gets remote access to a smartphone. After that, Clast82 most often installs the AlienBot app to steal bank data.
“The Clast82 has full access to a smartphone, as if an intruder was holding it in its hands,” said Dufman.
The expert listed the names of the applications from the Google Play Store that contain the following malicious programs:
Cake VPN – Pacific VPN – eVPN – BeatPlayer – QR / Barcode – Scanner MAX – Music Player – tooltipnatorlibrary – QRecorder
The expert advised, after removing the listed programs from the smartphone, to check bank accounts for any suspicious activity, as well as change the passwords to enter the banking application on the smartphone.
