The Malware Joker first appeared in 2017, when it attacked an incredible 1,700 applications before being removed by the Play Store. Another major occurrence occurred in September 2020, when there were 24 applications. They collected over 500,000 installations before deleting and deprived users of money from more than 30 countries. Minor injuries occur from time to time. The principle of theft is fake “subscription”which unobtrusively but very persistently draws a small amount of money.
