McAfee researchers found AsiaHitGroup trying to sneak malware into Google Play Store Again

Users from Russia, Thailand and Malaysia are susceptible to this threat since the malware will check the IP address location to determine whether it will install.  This time the app is known as "Despacito for Ringtone", not to be mistaken with another app "Despacito ringtones". The malware was quickly removed from Play Store. However, it is expected that criminals motivated with financial gains will continue to try to ride on the latest memes to hookwink users into downloading malware.
