I've seen numerous reports of Google Play apps being served with malware / showing malware-triggering ads. So it's cat and mouse even with international stores.
- zalew 13y agoYeah, sadly. But at least Google has the resources to learn on false negatives. There have been a few malware scandals, but they are usually cut off short in bulk just after exposed. I doubt smaller stores are able to perform that well in this area, not to mention that those Russian ones probably are the scammers themselves as the phones have non-google app stores unlocked and it only takes a spammy redirect. All that said, as you mentioned in the other comment - the root of the problem are cell companies, if not for them, the premium sms problem wouldn't exist.
