Be careful if using an Android phone. In fact, the presence of the Necro Trojan virus has been found in some apps on the Google Play Store. This virus is ready to steal data from mobile phones and the virus can easily send that data to hackers. Not only that, Necro Trojan secretly installs harmful malware apps on the device.

Google has already removed the affected apps from its app store after receiving requests from researchers. But researchers said the Trojan virus could also be present in popular gaming apps like Minecraft, which is still present on the Play Store. But they are testing it and will give details about it in a few days.

Notably, Necro Trojan virus was first detected in PDF creator app, CamScanner, in 2019. This app was downloaded more than 100 million times on Google Play Store. However, after the issue was noticed, the problem was fixed with a security update.

Now again the presence of this dangerous virus can be seen in Wuta Camera and Max Browser. Besides, the Necro Trojan virus is suspected to be present in modded versions of various apps including Spotify, WhatsApp, Minecraft, Stumble Guys, Car Parking Multiplayer and Melon Sandbox.
