How does the Joker virus work in Android apps?

The ‘Joker’ Trojan virus belongs to a family of malware known as Bread , whose objective is to hack cell phone bills and authorize operations without the user’s consent.

Researchers from the cybersecurity company Quick Heal Security Lab, cited in the statement, explain that this virus can enter text messages , contacts and other information on the infected smartphone.

The cybersecurity company Zscaler, cited by La Razón , made public the names of 16 other apps that, according to their analysis, also contain this malicious code:

Private SMS
Hummingbird PDF Converter – Photo to PDF
Style Photo Collage
Talent Photo Editor – Blur focus
Paper Doc Scanner
All Good PDF Scanner
Care Message
Part Message
Blue Scanner
Direct Messenger
One Sentence Translator – Multifunctional Translator
Mint Leaf Message-Your Private Message
Unique Keyboard – Fancy Fonts & Free Emoticons
Tangram App Lock
Desire Translate
Meticulous Scanner

Of course, the recommendation for Andriod users is to check if they have any of these apps installed on their smartphone and delete them immediately, since the fact that they are deleted from the Google Play Store does not imply automatic uninstallation from the computers where they were downloaded.
