Beware Of Fake Prisma Photo Editing App On Android Store Targeting User by linztech: 5:54am On Aug 05, 2016 |
Prisma app for Android users was
launched about a week ago, since then it has
become one of the most used photo editing
apps but with fame comes haters (just like
when hackers added (Fake Pokémon Go
app on Android store containing RAT)
and Prisma has caught the attentions of cyber
criminals as IT security researchers at ESET
have identified not one but several fake Prisma
apps infecting users with different but
dangerous trojan.
The security team at Google Play store have
since removed those apps but the fact is
that 1.5 million users have already
downloaded those infected apps.
ESET also noted that most of the fake apps
had no photo editing function rather they
infected users’ device with adware and
malware. In some cases, some of the infected
Prisma apps tricked users into visiting survey
sites stealing their personal information and
signing them up for bogus and expensive SMS
services. One Prisma app was discovered with
a capability of displaying fake messages on
screen alerting users that their smartphone has
been infected with a virus which can be
removed by downloading an anti-virus. The
anti-virus link provided in the warning message
was itself malicious. |
