China’s internet watchdog agency has now banned a total of 514,000 malicious apps.
China’s internet watchdog, the Cyberspace Administration of China , has moved to shut down thousands of malicious apps found to be impersonating major brands and government agencies and defrauding users.
"Since the beginning of this year, the Anti-Fraud Center of the CAC has investigated and cracked down on 42,000 counterfeit apps," the organization said in its announcement. That brings the total number of apps banned to 514,000, while the number of blocked websites now exceeds 3.8 million,In the majority of instances, the crooks impersonated major brands, such as JD. Sometimes, the apps would entice victims into buying products at a cheaper price than available elsewhere, and sometimes they would advertise amazing investment opportunities.
