Back to old ways. The Android users also earn for trouble. Just a few hours ago, the news came out that a new virus is affecting thousands of users of the Google operating system. According to the latest information, the virus, dubbed Droid Dream Light, would have infected a total of 25 applications, which at this point have already been struck from the Android Market. This infectious software is nothing more than a modification of a malware that had already attacked Android users before., so that the company would already be aware of how to provide a solution (more or less immediate) to the problem that Google is going through, and therefore, its users. At this point there is already talk of several tens of thousands of affected.
As explained by Lookout Security, a company dedicated to security in mobile telephony, the malware would have found its way into a total of 25 applications that have already been detected and removed from the official Google store, the Android Market. In this sense, all the people who had downloaded any of these applications would have a virus sleeping on their phone that is activated every time the phone registers a movement, that is, a call or a message. According to the estimates of this company, the total number of affected Android users could be between 30,000 and 120,000 users. To solve this incident, the phones compromised by this incident will have to carry out a remote deletion, a procedure that would guarantee the complete elimination of the virus.
So you can check if your phone has been infected or not, say that according to the list of applications that have distributed El País, the programs affected are as follows: Magic Photo Studio, Sexy Girs: Hot Japanese, Sexy Legs, HOT Girls 4 Beauty Breasts, Sex Sound, Sex Sound: Japanese, HOT Girls 1, Hot Girls 2, Hot Girls 3, Mango Studio, Floating Image Free, System Monitor, Super StopWatch and Timer, System Info Manager, ET Tean, Call End Vibrate, BeeGoo, Quick Photo Grid, Delete Contacts, Quick Uninstaller, Contact Master, Brightness Settings, Volume Manager, Super Photo Enhance, Super Color Flashlight, and Paint Master.
According to experts, this virus is more dangerous than the previous one, since it is capable of running automatically, without the need for the user to do anything to activate it. The Google company has not yet made any statement in this regard. We do know, however, that all of these apps have disappeared from the map and are no longer available for download.
