Google booted a number of apps from its online store that fooled people into believing they were helpful services, like flashlights and call recording apps, while spreading malware. Cybersecurity company Check Point Software revealed the findings on Friday after discovering the fraudulent apps in November and notifying Google (goog) , which promptly removed the software from the Google Play store, said Check Point security researcher Daniel Padon. Although Check Point routinely notifies the search giant of malicious apps it discovers on the Google Play store in private, it will publicly reveal more egregious forms of malware that the company believes warrants more attention, he explained. Padon estimates that the malware, called LightsOut because if affects several flashlight apps, has been downloaded between 1.5 million to 7.5 million times. He based those numbers on publicly available download estimates from Google Play on each of the 22 different affected apps.
