The Necro Trojan has infected 11 million Android devices — it was found in modifications of popular applications and even in the Google Play store, where two Necro-infected applications were found, Kaspersky Lab reported.

The Necro malware is introduced into applications through infected SDKs for software development. It is found in modified versions of popular applications, including Spotify, WhatsApp and Minecraft. Once launched, the Trojan infects systems with other malware: adware, fraudulent software and tools that allow mobile devices to be used as proxy servers when carrying out other attacks.

In the Google Play store, the Wuta Camera and Max Browser applications were infected with Necro. Wuta Camera has more than 10 million installations; the Trojan contained version 6.3.2.148, and in more recent versions it has already been removed. But even after the Trojan is removed, the payload — malicious applications installed with its help — may remain on the devices of affected users. Wuta Camera and Max Browser were infected via the Coral SDK advertising toolkit.

Since most of the apps infected by Necro are hacked or modified, it is recommended to use software only from official sources. Although there is always a chance that they are also unsafe, if you remember the Wuta Camera app posted on Google Play, so it is recommended to install antivirus software on your gadgets.
