Tech-security buffs are warning Android smartphone and tablet users about a swarm of dangerous mobile applications that have been downloaded millions of times from the Google Play Store.
Since 2020, over 190 apps with a strain of 'Harly' malware have been installed - with the virus able to steal personal information and even money via expensive subscription plans.
The programming was discovered by anti-virus provider Kaspersky, and it's been called Harly due to its similarities to another infamous Android virus - Joker. Comic book fans and lovers of the DC cinematic universe will be familiar with both of these names, and like the characters portrayed, the bugs share various similarities.
