Recently, the security team at Barracuda Security found almost 200 apps that contained adware and suspicious device permissions. In total, these apps have over 4.6 million downloads. The security team said the apps are using a type of code, named “Soraka” and “Sogo” for getting Malware on your device. As per the security team, if someone downloads any app through any type of website or somewhat like promotion, then the adverts will get into the device.
The adware which is used was noted to be capable of hiding and making it harder to search by apps which are specially designed to detect the malware. While speaking to Forbes, the security team White Ops said, “fraudsters are getting smarter, they are trying to slow down analysis with tactics.”
