The Google Play Store is filled with hundreds of thousands of apps and games. Although these apps and games can make our everyday lives easier, some of these can also steal our personal information through malicious activities. Before this month, we shared a listing of Android apps that come with the "Joker" malware. Now, a security visitor has institute more apps on the Play Shop that might steal your money if y'all download them on your device.

A digital security company, Sophos recently shared a list of Android apps that come with a malicious program. Dubbed as "fleeceware apps", these come with a program that tricks users to subscribe to expensive in-app services without them knowing. They exercise this by hiding the terms and conditions of the service.

And so, if you download one of these apps, you might finish up unknowingly subscribing to a useless, paid in-app service. According to the report by Sophos, there are some apps that try to sign up its users to a service worth $70 (~Rs 5157).
