Computer security experts have discovered a new problem called GhostTeam, at least 56 apps at the Google Play store.
GhostTeam is dedicated to stealing the names of users and passwords on Facebook.
It hides in the form of the app for lamp battery, compass, scanner and QR codes, smart phone cleaning, entertainment in different forms and video downloads, the KP broadcasts.
As it often happens, apps themselves do not contain code with bad intentions, so they are allowed to be included in the Google Play catalog.
This Mountainware collects information about the equipment, location, language and show parameters. As soon as you open the app on Facebook, it will again require a lock on your verification, but when you write the username and password, those data will be sent to the virus's author.
GhostTeam was discovered by Avast and Trend Micro. It is believed to be a question of the work of a Vietnamese developer, since Vietnamese has been used to write the computer code.
Currently, Android users in India, Indonesia, Brazil, Vietnam, and the Philippines are in greater danger, writes Hacker News.
