The five malicious apps are:
- Phone Cleaner - File Explorer (com.volabs.androidcleaner)
- PDF Viewer - File Explorer (com.xolab.fileexplorer)
- PDF Reader - Viewer & Editor (com.jumbodub.fileexplorerpdfviewer)
- Phone Cleaner: File Explorer (com.appiclouds.phonecleaner)
- PDF Reader: File Manager (com.tragisoap.fileandpdfmanager)
I recently bought a Xiaomi Phone and was shocked how bad their filebrowser is. Full of ads and connections to other file apps like nextcloud are missing.
(I’ve installed lineageos now.)
