According to Malwarebytes Labs, four popular Android apps that are currently available on Google Play are actually loaded with malware.
Malwarebytes Labs analyst Nathan Collier notes that this developer has spread malware on Google Play before. He states that it’s unclear if Google actually caught Mobile apps Group, but notes that some versions of the popular Bluetooth Auto Connect app have been clean in the past. That suggests the developer has been caught and uploaded a clean version of the app before eventually loading it up with more malware.
This is especially concerning because Mobile apps Group has uploaded clean versions of these apps in the past. In other words, they aren’t always malicious, and that’s apparently enough to keep them on Google Play. Again, all four of these apps are freely available on the Play store at the time of writing, so clearly, the system isn’t working.
