The threat actor behind the Joker Android malware has once again succeeded at slipping spyware infected apps onto the Play Store, Google's official Android app store. Joker malware, a spyware and premium dialer tool, also known as Bread was originally designed to perform SMS fraud on infected Android apps. More recently, Joker's creators have moved to new tactics after Google introduced Play Store policies that restrict the use of SEND_SMS permissions and increase Google Play protects coverage.
