Fake google apps appear in the microsoft store

The Microsoft Store is the application store that users with Windows 10 find on their computers. In it they find applications that can be downloaded to your computer. It is usually a safe option, with no problems with malware or viruses, although several bogus apps have now sneaked into the store. And it is not the first time it happens.

The application that has been detected in this case is called Album by Google Photos, which masquerades as the company's photo application. Although it is a fake app.

Fake apps on the Microsoft Store

There have been users who have downloaded the application on their computer from the Microsoft Store. Not only is it not the application that was thought, but it is a security problem for the computer. Since there are users who claim that this app has tried to install malware on their computer. So the security problem it poses can be quite serious.

Without a doubt, this is a failure on the part of the company, which has not verified the origin of the application or who is the developer behind it. Something that even the users themselves cannot verify. So nothing is known about it.

At the moment it seems that this app is still present in the Microsoft Store. The recommendation is that users do not download it. Microsoft has already been informed about this issue, so it's a matter of time before they take action and remove it entirely from the store. We hope they do so soon.
