These apps put you at risk — what to know.
It’s one of the most outlandish threats facing smartphone users today. Apps that you think make your phone safer and more secure actually put you, your device and your data at risk. Now a new list has been released of apps you should delete.And Chinese operators are also behind this new list of dangerous apps.
TTP says its last report in April “found that more than 20 of the top 100 free VPNs in the U.S. Apple App Store in 2024 showed evidence of Chinese ownership. None of these apps clearly disclosed their Chinese ties, and some obscured their origins behind layers of shell companies. Several of the apps were linked to Qihoo 360,” a cybersecurity firm “sanctioned by the U.S. over its ties to China’s People’s Liberation Army.
TTP has released a list of “13 China-owned VPN apps identified by TTP that remain available in the Apple App Store” and “11 China-owned VPN apps identified by TTP that are available in the Google Play Store.” The Android-maker also says “Google Play is committed to protecting user privacy and providing a safe and secure environment for our users. Apps that are deceptive, malicious, or intended to abuse or misuse any network, device, or personal data are strictly prohibited." It also has specific polices governing VPN apps.
