Out of these, Super Wallpapers Flashlight and Padenatef were the main applications that were downloaded multiple times. Most were downloaded multiple times while the last three were downloaded approximately multiple times.

These applications included malevolent code that distinguished which application is opened out of sight and frontal area. On the off chance that it was Facebook, the noxious application will show an overlaid internet browser window on the head of the Facebook application and burden the phony login page. The client at that point gives his/her credentials considering it a genuine page.

All these applications were accounted for to Google in May and the organization expelled these applications not long ago.
