You will not have to worry about finding them in the Google app store because they have already disappeared from the Play Store. Google has been responsible for removing them. But if you have installed them they can steal your money, data and spy on your phone.
All this they do behind your back
They are more dangerous than you imagine. According to Trend Micro “The DawDropper malicious payload belongs to the Octo malware family, which is a multi-stage, modular malware that is capable of stealing banking information, intercepting text messages, and hijacking infected devices. Octo is also known as Coper, and has historically been used to target Colombian online banking users.”
It is one of the many applications that take the opportunity to sneak into the Google application store as they can to find new victims to attack.
They can disable Google Play Protect and collect data such as your Android ID, contact list, text messages and installed apps. To do this, they use a third-party cloud service that allows them to bypass Google’s security controls.
It is important that you have a good security system on your mobile, have Play Protect and do not install any application that does not give you enough confidence, even if it has good positive reviews in the application store. If you have many negatives or some that you should value, do not install anything.
Although Google works to get rid of malicious apps from its store, one always sneaks in and from the moment it appears until it is removed from the store, there may be a few victims, hundreds or even thousands, as we have seen previously. So take extreme precautions. If any of the mentioned apps is on your phone , go to Settings, in manage applications, look for it and hit delete as soon as possible.
