The Story
Researchers at Trend Micro announced that Apple and Google purged hundreds of gambling apps that were disguising themselves as apps that feature weather, travel or wine. Some of the apps even ranked in Apple’s top-100 apps and were rated over 100k times despite their dubious content. Meanwhile, the apps ranked lower in Google Play because they only appeared in the platform last August. Trend Micro noted that the apps had built in an application programming interface (API) that allowed the app to eventually reveal its true colors.
