Security News > 2023 > June > SpinOk Android malware found in more apps with 30 million installs
The SpinOk malware was found in a new batch of Android apps on Google Play, reportedly installed an additional 30 million times.
SpinOk was first discovered by Dr. Web late last month in a set of a hundred apps that had been collectively downloaded over 421 million times.
As the mobile security company explained in its report, SpinOk was distributed via an SDK supply chain attack that infected many apps and, by extension, breached many Android users.
CloudSEK used the IoCs provided in Dr. Web's report to uncover more SpinOk infections, extending the list of bad apps to 193 after discovering an additional 92 apps.
CloudSEK informed Google about the new malicious apps it discovered on Friday, June 2, 2023, and BleepingComputer contacted the Android team about it.
Google has not responded yet, and many of the apps listed in CloudSEK's report are still available on Google Play at the time of writing.
