Smartphones are always at risk of getting infected with malware. Malware can find its way to your device in many ways, but downloading a malicious file or app is the most common way of it.
In one of the latest cases, McAfee Mobile Research Team came up with a “HiddenAds” campaign that includes 38 Android games that were discovered on the Google Play Store.
As the name suggests, these Android games can run advertising in the background and generate illicit revenue for creators.
According to a McAfee report, these apps are installed by at least 35 million users worldwide, and some of them even have over 10 million downloads.
Additionally, the United States, Canada, South Korea, and Brazil are the most affected regions.
Running ads in the background without permission can create an unfavorable experience for users.
For example, it can slow down the device, cause sudden crashes, and freeze the device while playing a game. Identifying the roots of the issue is also hard in such cases.
