CamScanner app removed from Google Play Store after it was found loaded with Malware

CamScanner, the app that turns your phone into a scanner for intelligent document management is in the news today as Kaspersky researchers recently found malware in the app that could potentially affect devices. The app has now been removed from the Google Play Store. According to a report from Kaspersky researchers, CamScanner app contained a 'Trojan Dropper' module known as 'Trojan-Dropper.AndroidOS.Necro.n' and the researchers have observed this module in some apps preinstalled on Chinese smartphones. The purpose of Trojan Droppers is to install malicious code on a victim's device and the module extracts and runs another malicious module from an encrypted file that is included in the app’s resources. This might start showing intrusive ads to users inside the app and drive them to sign up for paid subscriptions. The latest update of CamScanner does not contain this malicious code, but the versions of the app vary for different devices. Also, some of the users already spotted malicious behaviour in CamScanner app and posted reviews in the Play Store warning users not to install this app. Based on the findings and reportings from Kaspersky, the app has now been removed from the Google Play Store.
