They were denied that they were published on the basis of racing games. When you try to play the game, it will be disabled but the malicious program can infect your phone though.
Unlike some other malware attempts spread ing on Google Play, these games were able to succeed in this plan. More than 560,000 people reportedly downloaded them before they were discovered and removed from the store. Here's the full list of these games:
- _Extreme Car Driving Racing
- _Moto Cross Extreme Racing
- _Extreme Car Driving City
- _City Traffic Moto Racing
- _Extreme Sport Car Driving
- _Hyper Car Driving Simulator
