It is strange that many people do not care about your privacy, they download any application that appears in the store.
Also, google play does not check apps fast enough before they spread viruses.
I haven't read all the details but in the quarantine period it looks perfect for those who want to do these activities as a lot of people looking to explore more applications.
Yes thats the problem that a lot Users and people just click the download button before they think about and look what they download !
I guess 80 % of the people that use and download Apps from the Google Store just think its safe and secure and nothing will happens there.
And its the same when you download something else where on your PC or on your Laptop.
They see maybe just see a good rating (thats mostly fake ratings) and click the button.
