Adware Disguised as Game, TV, Remote Control Apps Infect 9 Million Google Play Users

We recently discovered an active adware family (detected by Trend Micro as AndroidOS_HidenAd) disguised as 85 game, TV, and remote control simulator apps on the Google Play store. This adware is capable of displaying full-screen ads, hiding itself, monitoring a device’s screen unlocking functionality, and running in the mobile device’s background. The 85 fake apps have been downloaded a total of 9 million times around the world.
