Beware: Dangerous Free Apps on Google Play Store
Google is enhancing security on the Play Store by removing low-quality apps and improving Play Protect to detect threats from apps installed outside the store. A surge in dangerous free VPN apps, often containing malware, has been reported by Kaspersky, prompting Google to introduce independent security validation for VPNs. Top10VPN's report highlights security flaws in both free and some paid VPNs, emphasizing the need for users to choose VPNs carefully, preferably paid ones from reputable developers, and to keep Play Protect enabled.
