To make matters worse, many of the malicious apps were found on the official Google Play Store, which most users assume is a safe haven where apps can be downloaded without threat. Check Point says Tekya infiltrated Google Play Store by hiding it malicious intentions in native code – code that is configured to run only on Android processors.
As a result, Tekya was able to avoid detection by Google Play Protect, a system designed by Google to keep Android safe from front to back.
Speaking about the threat, Check Point’s Manager of Mobile Research, Aviran Hazum said: "To us, the amount of applications targeted and the sheer number of downloads that the actor successfully infiltrated into Google Play is staggering. Combine that with a relatively simple infection methodology, it all sums up to the learning that Google Play Store can still host malicious apps. It is difficult to check if every single application is safe on the Play Store, so users cannot rely on Google Play’s security measures alone to ensure their devices are protected."
