‘Smart TV remote’ and ‘Halloween Coloring’ apps have been found to be laced with ‘Joker’ malware. The apps are called Smart TV remote and Halloween Coloring, with the former having been downloaded at least 1,000 times since its publication on October 29th. The threat actors behind the Joker malware hide malicious code in seemingly benign apps and publish these to official app stores. The Joker malware is known to subscribe users to premium mobile services without their consent or knowledge. Earlier this year, over 500,000 Huawei Android devices were found to have been infected.”]
