Wuta Camera, Max Browser, WhatsApp Mods, Spotify Mods, and Minecraft Mods were found to be infected with a Necro Sideloader. All the apps are shown to contain CoralSDK. If you downloaded any of this remove the apps and wipe your phone.

I have a lot of questions about who is downloading all these camera Apps.

I mean I'm sure it's anyone not satisfied with the built in app

Yeah, but it doesn't seem likely they'd be satisfied with these apps either. I mean. It's not like they're feature rich. They're a shell app intended to be malware for the most part. So you'd end up installing it and then going "this isn't what I wanted" and then uninstalling it, I would think. Photoshop Express is like $4 (might be more now, haven't checked).

Didn't know that. I generally do photo editing on a computer so it's not like I'm downloading a bunch of camera apps.
