Apple announces 15 new games on Arcade gaming service
Tech giant Apple on Wednesday announced to add 15 new games on its gaming service Apple Arcade.
Apple Inc. has removed 17 apps from its App Store which were made by a Gujarat-based company on suspicion of malware. Mobile security company Wandera had released a list of 17 apps for iOS which are infected with clickware meant to increase advertising revenue.
These apps were published by Gujarat-based AppAspect Technologies Pvt. Ltd and the iPhone maker has removed all 17 apps as they are no longer available for download on the App Store.
“Clicker Trojan is a well-understood class of malware that performs ad-fraud by making frequent connections to ad networks or websites in order to artificially inflate visitor counts or to generate revenue on a pay-per-click basis,” said Wandera.
