OMG!!
The fake Samsung app has beenspottedby Malware Analyst Aleksejs Kuprins, who works for the CSIS Security Group.
According to the Google Play Store listing, the Updates for Samsung app promises firmware updates for Samsung devices.
However, upon opening, the app redirects users to ad-filled websites.
Not only that, but the website also convince users into making a payment for the updates.
Whats worse is that the app has been downloaded over 10 million times.
A user can feel a bit lost about the (system) update procedure.
After that, the app asks users to purchase a $34.99 subscription to get the firmware update.
So, what do you think about this?
