Security researchers have discovered 331 malicious apps on Google Play, downloaded over 60 million times, engaging in ad fraud and phishing attacks. The campaign, dubbed “Vapor”, used advanced techniques to evade detection, including hiding icons, exploiting permissions, and displaying fake login pages to steal user credentials.

Key threats included full-screen intrusive ads, credential theft, and financial fraud. While most apps have been removed, some remain active, highlighting the urgent need for better cybersecurity measures.

🔒 To stay safe:
