Samsung’s Galaxy Store reportedly contains several apps riddled with malware and adware. These apps reportedly trigger Google Play Protect warnings soon after they are installed on customer devices. Additionally, some of the apps also ask for excessive permissions like access to call logs.
Samsung Galaxy Store is reportedly hosting and distributing several apps that can infect customers’ devices with malware. Tipster Max Weinbach first spotted the issue in a few Showbox-based apps on the Samsung Galaxy Store. These apps are said to include malware and Google’s Play Protect was able to spot it soon after they got installed. Additionally, analysis carried out by online virus and malware scanning service Virustotal on the Showbox-based apps distributed on the Galaxy Store showed low-grade alerts as well.
