Google has been removed “11” applications from the Google Play Store which were infected with the scandalous joker malware. Google has been tracking these apps from 2017 and found the new joker malware that was inside the applications. There is no such a way that the users can’t find out the malware and they come up with all the premium services.
Most of the users don’t know about the malware and all kind of stuff due to the lack of knowledge and government should come up with all the safety measurements. So, we shouldn’t give any chance to the hackers. In this case, Google removed all the apps from the play store. Android users who installed the below apps kindly remove all those applications immediately.
List of apps affected by:

The joker malware is very tricky to detect and it may very well make it back to the play store. Google released a report that it had detected and removed 1700 malicious bread apps from the play store. All these bread apps are one with the joker malware. Google has announced that it has been removed all the applications before users could download it.
The joker malware is however taking cover for a long span of time with google tracking such apps since 2017. So, we should be aware of these kind of malwares and protect ourself. Be safe.
