Some dangerous Android apps have once again managed to slip past Google’s security checks.
Over 20 harmful apps have been found on the Google Play Store, and experts are warning users to remove them right away to protect their personal data and money.
These apps are mainly targeting users interested in cryptocurrency, offering fake wallet services that seem real.
However, their true aim is to steal sensitive information and take control of digital assets.
The warning comes from Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs (CRIL), which discovered these malicious apps on the Play Store.
What’s the Danger?
According to CRIL, these apps trick users into entering their 12-word recovery phrase — a key used to access crypto wallets.
Once entered, hackers gain full access to the wallet and can steal funds silently, without alerting the user.

If you have installed any of these apps, uninstall them immediately. Do not share your passwords or recovery phrases with any app unless you are absolutely sure it’s legitimate.
Protect Yourself: What You Should Do
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra account security.
Only download apps from trusted sources, like the official Google Play Store.
Avoid clicking on links to download apps from unknown or suspicious messages.
Never share your recovery key or passwords, even if the app looks official.
The number of scams involving crypto wallets has increased recently. This latest warning shows how hackers are changing their strategies, using more advanced tools — including AI — to carry out attacks.
The key takeaway: Be alert and cautious. Before installing any app, do your research, check reviews, and confirm it’s from a verified developer. A little care can go a long way in protecting your data and money.
