Avast has discovered more than 200 new fleeceware applications on the Apple App Store and the Google PlayStore. The applications attract users with a promise of a free 3-day trial, with an unusually high subscription fee attached. Once the trial is over, users are charged a recurring subscription fee ‘ even if they deleted the app by that time ‘ until they cancel the subscription in their device’s app subscriptions settings. One of the apps, for example, offers a $66 per week subscription, potentially costing the victim $3,432 per year unless cancelled.
