XDA Developers: Despite the best efforts of Google Play Protect, the Play Store is not as safe as it may appear

XDA Developers: Despite the best efforts of Google Play Protect, the Play Store is not as safe as it may appear. “Recently, a report from Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky’s Secure List detailed how much it costs for different types of malware to function on the Play Store. For example, it costs anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000 to pay for a ‘loader’ that injects an already existing app with malicious code while bypassing Google Play Protect.”
