Emergency delete and kill virus immediately if you have installed these applications

Specifically, according to the above cybersecurity groups, they have just made a “terrible discovery” on the Google Play Store - more than 100 apps are hosting a malware called SpinOK. Even more dangerous, 2 of those infected apps have had more than 100 million downloads.

What are these apps? Specifically, the video player and editor “Noizz: video editor with music” and the file sharer “Zapyia - File Transfer, Share”.

So how dangerous is the SpinOK malware? According to “Dr. Web,” SpinOK “displays seemingly legitimate behavior” by launching mini-games that lead to “Daily Rewards” to attract users’ attention.

However, SpinOK silently accesses data stored on Android devices and sends them to a remote server, putting the device owner's private photos and videos at risk.

This malware can also copy and replace content stored in the device's cache - which is very dangerous for digital currency transactions.

Besides the above 2 apps, SpinOK has also been found in about 101 apps on Google Play Store with a total of about 400 million downloads.

The good news is that all of the above apps except “Noizz: video editor with music” and “Zapyia - File Transfer, Share” have been removed from the Google Play Store. So why does Google keep these two apps? It’s because the developers have updated them with “clean” versions.

On the other hand, if you have already installed the above apps on your Android device - you should delete them immediately, and download and run an up-to-date antivirus application for your device (Bitdefender is recommended by cybersecurity groups as suitable against SpinOK).
