Samsung Galaxy Store could feature malware-ridden apps
Samsung is one of the few brands that provides a second solution for the system applications that are obtained when an Android smartphone is first launched. This includes its own browser, its own voice assistant, and even its own app store. The Samsung Galaxy Store does not have as many options as the Google Play store, but a new report from Android Police suggests that it has a bigger problem.
According to reports, the Galaxy Store is flooded with fake cloned apps, which may carry malware. Recently, multiple clones of the Showbox application have been discovered on the app, and these may have been downloaded by many unsuspecting customers. Twitter user Max Weinbach recently pointed out the existence of these cloned apps on Twitter, and also mentioned similar problems he had found on Huawei smartphones. Check out the tweet below. The report added that analysis of the VirusTotal application revealed multiple “low-level alerts from security vendors, ranging from “risky software” to adware.” These applications also request permission to run sensitive data, including access to contacts. People, call logs and phone calls.
Interestingly, when users try to install these cloned applications from the Galaxy Store, the Google Play Protect function on the Android phone is activated to warn users of the potential risks of installing such applications. However, the fact that there are multiple such apps in Samsung’s official app store is worrying. As we all know, OEMs that have their own app store on a custom Android skin will encourage users to use their own app store instead of the Google Play store to download new apps and games and update existing ones. This includes Galaxy Store on OneUI, GetApps on MIUI, and more examples.
Although pushing users to use your own store is not a problem, the presence of harmful apps on platforms that should be risk-free is a problem. I hope that Samsung will get rid of these applications and pay close attention to fake applications that try to enter the Galaxy Store in the future.
