Scams in the Google Play store are an old problem. It genuinely perplexes me that Google hasn't solved this problem. Surely they realize this drives people away from the platform. My parents don't follow @swiftonsecurity but they do read the news and they don't want their retirement accounts pilfered. Thus they overreact to any negative security news in the mainstream news. So they own iPhones. The volume of bad news about Android security outweighs iOS.
- Sylos 9y agoGoogle has an obsession with automating everything and employing at best no humans at all. Same thing with Chrome extensions. Mozilla has solved this same problem in near perfection by just having a few actual human beings look over the code of newly submitted or updated extensions. Google has magnitudes more money than Mozilla, so they could easily afford to just copy that, too.
