All of these apps have been promptly eliminated from the Google Play Store as soon as Trend Micro announced its discovery, so don’t take the risk of downloading them now. However, if you have used them in the past you may have compromised your data.
So, in addition to deleting the applications from the list above, you should also change your Facebook password. And if you haven’t done so yet, enable two-factor authentication on the social platform. The same goes for your crypto wallets.
Also, if you have to download applications for VPN, photo editing and any other category among the apps listed, rely on well-known products reviewed by many users on the Play Store. The extra time spent evaluating the security of an app is always well spent in these cases. Safe alternatives are not lacking.
