Android users often download and install apps from the Google Play Store for many activities , including requests for permission to use the app to watch. The confirmation of our malicious and potentially unwanted system helps avoid installing applications.
However, McAfee recently found a suspicious app on Google Play that almost automatically downloads,installs, and launches other apps from Google Play without these interactions. This automatic installation occurs with the Google account’s authorization tokens, provided by the user only once, which communicates with Google Play URLs in an unofficial way.
The automatic installation thanks to app users are allowed to provide GET_ACCOUNTS and USE_CREDENTIALS permission requests. This permits the application to provide users accounts ( perhaps more than other services Google accounts ) provides a powerful position, said. A device to run applications such as Google Account to access the benefits of these requests during the installation of an unfamiliar application, and users should be very careful. Privacy cause terrible damage to devices and applications allows malicious benefits.
