These apps are now purportedly resurfacing in the Google Play Store, which is comfortably the most popular place for Android users to download new apps. That means millions of Android users could be exposed to these apps once again. Less than a year after Google expunged them from the store, that's a worry.
When researchers uncovered the apps first time around, the malicious apps were dubbed "creeperware" because of their capability to do exactly that – creep on unsuspecting Android users.
A number of the apps have innocuous names to hide their hostile purposes. Spoof Text Message, for example, advertises itself with the tagline “Don’t like your buddy’s girlfriend? Well, break them up!”. This comedy app doesn't immediately announce itself as an app that can record your screen and calls. However, others, like GirlFriend Cell Tracker, are pretty explicit about what the app can do.
