Once in the background, these trojans would covertly serve ads to victims through their web browsers, a strategy designed to yield substantial profits for the unscrupulous developers. Notably, the ads displayed included content such as casino websites and fake investment schemes, all in flagrant violation of Google’s policies.
The most notorious among these trojans that successfully evaded Google’s defenses and infiltrated the Play Store is “Super Skibydi Killer,” a gaming app with a staggering one million downloads. Other notable culprits include “Agent Shooter” (500,000 downloads), “Rubber Punch 3D” (500,000 downloads), and “Rainbow Stretch” (50,000 downloads).
