<p>These networks focused on different regions. Some targeted Europe. Others focused on the Middle East. Some even tried to influence Africa. The accounts posted about news and politics.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google has removed many apps from its Play Store. The apps contained harmful software. This software could steal money from users. Google confirmed the removal recently. The company found these apps had dangerous code. This code could take over devices secretly. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
                <a href="" target="_self" title="Google Removes Apps That Contain Malicious Code"><br />
                <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5057 aligncenter" src="https://www.afrinewswire.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/102b1206442254ba0a7274af8e549807.jpg" alt="Google Removes Apps That Contain Malicious Code " width="380" height="250"><br />

                </p>
<p>Security experts helped Google find the bad apps. The apps pretended to be useful tools. Some looked like file managers. Others pretended to be health trackers. These apps hid their real purpose. They contained malware called Anatsa. This malware is very dangerous. It can steal banking details and passwords.</p>
<p>Google acted quickly. The company deleted over 100 infected apps. These apps were downloaded many times. Users worldwide are affected. Google Play Protect will now warn users. The warning tells users to uninstall these apps immediately.</p>
<p>The malware worked carefully. It avoided detection at first. The apps functioned normally after installation. This tricked users. Later, the malware secretly downloaded extra harmful code. This code could record screen activity. It could also capture keystrokes. Bank account information was the main target.</p>
<p>Users might not know they are infected. Signs include strange app behavior or fast battery drain. Users should check their installed apps now. They should remove any app listed in security warnings. Updating device software is also important. Using strong, unique passwords helps too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">

<p>                 Google stated its commitment to user safety. The company scans apps constantly. Bad apps are removed as soon as they are found. Google thanked the security researchers. Their work identified this specific threat. Google continues to improve Play Store protections. The company urges users to only download apps from trusted sources. Users should also keep Google Play Protect active.</p>
