These apps with 5 million Google Play downloads stole users’ Facebook login details
Recently, Google has removed nine apps from the Google Play Store after these apps were found to have stolen Facebook user login details. All applications have provided official services and have been downloaded more than 5 million times.
As detected by security investigators on Dr. Web (via ArsTechnica), these malicious applications have used a special method to trick users into giving their Facebook credentials.

Apps attract users to disable in-app ads by linking to their Facebook profiles. When a user goes to link to his profile, they see an original form that asks them to enter their username and Facebook password. The Facebook page uploaded to Android WebView itself was official. However, the researchers found that hackers also uploaded malicious JavaScript to the same WebView in order to steal user data.
This script was directly used to highjack the entered login credentials. After that, this JavaScript, using the methods provided through the JavascriptInterface annotation, passed stolen login and password to the trojan applications, which then transferred the data to the attackers’ C&C server. After the victim logged into their account, the trojans also stole cookies from the current authorization session. Those cookies were also sent to cybercriminals.

- Android.PWS.Facebook.13
- Android.PWS.Facebook.14
- Android.PWS.Facebook.15
- Android.PWS.Facebook.17
- Android.PWS.Facebook.18
Google has removed these apps from the Google Play Store and banned the publishers of all nine apps from the platform, so they can’t publish any new apps. If you have installed any of the above applications on your Android device, remove them immediately. Also, be sure to reset your Facebook password and enable 2-factor authentication to be on the safe side.
