According to a recent report by the company SecureList, the Google Play Store reportedly unknowingly broadcast a little less than a hundred applications infected by a trojan.
A new personal data theft campaign was organized directly from the Google Play Store, Google's application market for Android.
According to SecureList, there are 85 applications designated as trusted and distributed within the official Play Store of Android that would have been infected by a trojan-type malware. Contacted upstream, Google has already deleted all applications concerned.
The security company says it spotted the malware Trojan-PSW.AndroidOS.MyVk.o, a trojan already known and detected by Kaspersky in 2015, it then camouflaged mainly in the application VK Music.

During this campaign, the application Mr President Rump has the most downloads (about 10,000). The trojan would have been integrated into the application as part of the October 2017 update.
No worries, however, to be on the side of French users since the Trojan targeted only Russian users. The majority of the targeted applications were related to those of the Russian social network VK or were anyway translated into Russian with some exceptions.
