Joker and Harly malware are hunting in pair for android devices

Harly aka Joker's girlfriend is the new name of the malware targeting android users.

Cyber security reports have stated that a malware named Harley has entered the Android ecosystem and it can infect the device with the apps installed from Google Play.

Joker malware downloads the malicious code after installing a real-looking app on the device. On the other hand, Harley malware itself brings with it the malicious code and does not need to be controlled remotely.

Harly signs-up the users for expensive services without their knowledge and sweeps their accounts. Harley malware has been found in more than 190 Android apps and these apps have been downloaded millions of times.
