Mobile security company Wandera issued a report Thursday afternoon identifying 17 apps in Apple’s App Store infected with clicker Trojan malware, all of which are tied to the same India-based developer.
By Friday morning, Apple confirmed they’d been booted from the App Store.
Apple told at least one news outlet that 18 apps were removed following the report, but Wandera appears to believe that double-counts one of the apps, with the firm noting in its findings that its “initial list of infected apps included two instances of cricket score app ‘CrickOne’ that were hosted on different regional App Stores and contain distinct metadata.” Upon review, Wandera found that those apps use the same codebase.

Wandera cites a statement from Apple as confirming that the apps have been removed for having code that violates App Store guidelines by allowing for the artificial click-through of ads and that Apple has updated its detection tools.
