As we know that now photos can be easily manipulated with a few simple settings, in just a few minutes our faces can change dramatically for the better and quality. This is due to the sophistication of the default camera technology and the array of beauty applications that can be obtained free of charge at the application store.
However, the name of the additional application, you must be aware of because not everything can be trusted and safe from intelligence. Not long ago the security company Trend Micro has found 29 applications in the Google Play Store that contain malware and data smugglers.
Not long after getting the report, Google itself immediately acted quickly and deleted all of the reported applications from its Play Store service. Of the 29 applications reported, one of them is included in one of the most popular Android beauty applications in Asia, and the number of downloads has reached 1 million times.
As revealed by Lorin Wu, security analyst at Trend Micro, some applications have advertisements that deceive users, some of which lead users to sites containing malware, which can steal addresses and phone numbers. There are also applications that display full page ads on the screen lock, so that those who accidentally click on ads automatically download paid adult videos.
Google cannot counteract this android beauty application because the row of applications is equipped with a compression system, so that it avoids monitoring security systems. The list of applications meant to be embedded with malicious malware includes:
