Malware
Joker malware infects apps listed on the Google Play Store, and after a user downloads one of the infected apps. Every time the malware is caught, its developers make minor changes to its code to bypass the Play Store’s security guidelines.
The malware is known to steal victims’ information via SMSes, contact lists, and device info. The virus interacts with the device in the background silently clicking on advertisements and subscribing its victims to premium services.
The malware is capable of taking OTPs from SMSes to secretly approve payments. After this, it will delete the OTP and the bank SMSes so that the victim is clueless about the charges. The only way a victim will get to know about the charges is when they check their bank statements.
