Security experts at Check Point uncovered a sophisticated malware campaign spreading the SimBad malicious code through the official Google Play Store. According to experts, more than 150 million users were already impacted. The malware is hidden in the RXDrioder software development kit (SDK) used for advertising purposes and monetization generation. Most of the infected applications are simulator games, followed by photo editors and wallpapers applications. The SimBad malware is also able to redirect Android users to compromised phishing websites and download more malicious applications either from the Play Store or from a remote server.”]
