Flip through it to see if you recognize any. The entire list of 151 app names is available online as well, courtesy of cybersecurity software company Avast. I'd describe it as “a jumble of far-too-innocent-looking buzzwords.” Here's a partial list of actual app names that can give you an idea of the general vibe these apps are going for. It's another reminder to anyone on the internet to be wary of downloading anything, even from a perfectly mainstream source like the Google Play store. The apps look like they offer a wide range of perfectly normal uses, from video and photo editors to spam call blockers to games.
Google just banned 151 different apps that were all part of a scam campaign called “UltimaSMS.”īefore Google deleted them, the apps had been collectively downloaded more than 10.5 million times, so it's worth checking your phone to make sure you don't have any of them on your own device.
