Chef Curry Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) If you are playing Pokemon GO, just be aware you may have downloaded a RAT along with it. Bitdefender just emailed me notifying that researchers found a malware-infected version on the Android App store. edit: not from official app - only dodgy .APK file app versions.

Tru I 0 W N Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Heard this was only for people in countries where it is blocked.
Explv Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) If you got the official version of Pokemon GO from the app store, it will not have malware. However, if you are downloading dodgy .apks from random sites, then rip you. Edited July 15, 2016 by Explv 1
Xerion Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Last time I read an article about it they said they haven't spotted one in the wild. The easiest way to check if it was legitimate was to check the permissions. The legit one only needs Camera, contacts, location and storage. I downloaded mine from APKmirror and everything was fine. 2
Chef Curry Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 Heard this was only for people in countries where it is blocked. Ah maybe, that does sound possible. They didn't specify that in the email :P
Royal Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Its for all the people that downloaded the APK online theres alot of sites which provided the APK
Solution Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Only for people that download from shadyapksfoundhere.org but a nice heads-up nontheless
Explv Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Would aptoide be good? You could just wait until it comes out in the store for your region. It's just a shitty pokemon game after all
ez11 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 You could just wait until it comes out in the store for your region. It's just a shitty pokemon game after all but then he missed the hype and its not going to be cool anymore
Trump Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 You could just wait until it comes out in the store for your region. It's just a shitty pokemon game after all I agree, its a very shitty game
Farcast Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Do people download off-hand versions from the app store? It's not hard to check.
Explv Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Do people download off-hand versions from the app store? It's not hard to check. Not from the app store, from random websites.
