Some 2 million users of Android phones have been alerted to download their device, a malicious program called "The Wrong Guide," according to the British newspaper The Telegraph.
The source said that the malicious program infiltrated the phones through a number of phone applications on the "Google Play Store," between 2016 and 2017, and the virus has disappeared in the devices under the names of developers imaginary like Sergei Vernik and Nikolay Zubokan.
Checkpoint, the digital security company, said the malicious program infiltrated applications that guide users to how to play some electronic games such as Pokemon Go.
Applications that accept it require that they download "management rights" on their computers so that they can enter malicious code that allows hackers to access sensitive information in the device.
