"Google Play Store Enhances Security with Audit Badges for Android VPNs and Apps"

Google is introducing a new badge system in the Google Play Store to help Android users find more trustworthy VPN apps. The badges will indicate that the apps have undergone independent security audits. VPN apps are the first to receive this special treatment due to the sensitive data they handle and their popularity as targets for subversion. The badges will be displayed prominently on the Google Play page of audited apps, providing users with more transparency and building trust in the apps' security.
