An app that has cheated more than 10 million users for six years on Google Play

More than 10 million users were trapped in the Android system through the false update of Samsung "Updates for Samsung" with the Android operating system updates, but in reality in redirecting users to a complete website and paying for updates.

The application enjoys the difficulty of getting operating system updates for Samsung phones, which has resulted in an increase in the number of users having installed it at about 10 million users. The application has been in existence for over six years and has therefore been installed by a large number of people.

The "Updates for Samsung" application solves this problem for non-technical users by providing a central location where Samsung phone owners can get updates from their operating systems.

But that's just one thing. The application, which does not belong to Samsung in any way, only displays a WebView Web page that asks it to pay for the download of the update.

The fake application does not harm users or malware, but exploits users by providing fake services for money. Its ultimate goal is to steal users' money only by offering an offer of $ 34.99 for all necessary updates and files.

The problem here is that the application violates the rules of the Play Store and uses its own payment system, instead of using the system provided by the official store, which allows users to intercept their data payment or register by a third party rather than via a secure and secure payment channel. From Google.

The application is not detrimental to the traditional sense of the term because it does not cause any harmful action on the part of the user or without his consent. But his best description is "fraudulent".
