These apps claim to give daily rewards based on spin wheel. A latest report says that a new malware is being distributed in the form of Software Development Kit (SDK) for advertisers, which has infected more than 100 apps. According to a report by Bleeping Computer, Dr. Web researchers have discovered spyware named ‘SpinOK’ in more than 100 Android apps, which works to steal personal data stored on smartphones. What is more dangerous is that spyware is also capable of sending the stolen data to a remote server. This spyware is disguised as an SDK module and appears legitimate at first sight. SpinOK spyware allegedly promises users daily rewards through minigames such as spin wheels. It extracts the data in the user’s phone as well as sensor data from the gyroscope and magnetometer and checks whether it is running on the phone or not. Reports suggest that the spyware has infected more than 100 apps on the Google Play Store, which have been downloaded more than 400 million times in total.
