According to a recent study conducted by Kaspersky Labs, researchers found 85 apps in the Google Play store that were attempting to steal credentials from users on Russian-based social network, Vk.com and based on the report, the apps were downloaded over a million times.
Over the years, Google has released several Bug Bounty programs that target malicious applications that infect users with malicious software from being released on the Google Play Store.
Kaspersky Labs mentioned that the most popular game downloaded was submitted to the app store as an actual game in March, 2017, but by October, it was updated with information stealing software.
