CTOnews.com, April 28 (Xinhua) according to the latest report released by the McAfee mobile security team, at least 38 fake "my World" mobile games have been found on Google Play Store, with a total of more than 3500 downloads.

McAfee has removed the problem games after reporting the findings to Google. The number of downloads of major copycat apps attached to CTOnews.com are as follows:

Block Box Master Diamond-over 1000 downloads

Craft Sword Mini Fun-over 5 million downloads

Block Box Skyland Sword-over 5 million downloads

Craft Monster Crazy Sword-over 5 million downloads

Block Pro Forrest Diamond-over 1 million downloads

Block Game Skyland Forrest-over 1 million downloads

Block Rainbow Sword Dragon-over 1 million downloads

Craft Rainbow Mini Builder-over 1 million downloads

Block Forrest Tree Crazy-over 1 million downloads

After launching these fake "my World" mobile games, players will load ads, but will not display the screen content. McAfee reports that the initial network packets for several applications have a similar structure, using "3.txt" as the path in the form of "https://(random).netlify.app/ 3.txt".

Although loading ads is a relatively low threat in malicious applications, it will reduce the performance of mobile devices, cause privacy problems, and may even cause security vulnerabilities, so that users may be more seriously infected.
