According to foreign media reports, network security company Symantec discovered eight malicious applications in the Windows 10 Store. These applications were released roughly between April and December 2018. Why are they called malicious applications? These applications will secretly consume users' hardware resources to mine Monero.
Although Symantec released the news immediately, some users still failed to escape. It is reported that the number of reviews for some applications has exceeded 2,000, which means that there are not even 1,000 but 800 users who have been victimized.
Curious friends may ask, how can such a rampant application commit crimes under Microsoft's Windows10 system? In fact, the reason why they are successful is that they disguise themselves as Internet proxies, video downloaders and some applications with high demand. The disguise work is complete, the application description is flawless, and the users are completely unaware of the bait.
