This fake WhatsApp app has been downloaded more than a million times
We're surrounded by hoaxes, fake news, spam, malware and...fake apps.
A fake Android app which was disguised as an update to the popular WhatsApp messaging service was downloaded more than a million times from the Google Play Store.
Named "Update WhatsApp Messenger" and developed by "WhatsApp Inc.", the app looked pretty much identical to the official one. It was changed to a different name and then deleted altogether, according to the Reddit user who first flagged the case.
