Alert over unclear, overhyped apps spreading on official app stores
AhnLab said on Tuesday it found many apps on official app stores that disguise themselves as providing practical information but expose users to excessive advertising. The firm said the apps lure users with topics such as government policies and subsidies, IPOs and loans, then repeatedly show ads during use. Some positive reviews appear to use repeated wording and may have been artificially written using stolen accounts. AhnLab warned the apps could easily add malicious functions.
