It’s not uncommon for malware-ridden apps to make their way to the Play Store. The people behind them either want to scam users or just push less than desirable ads to make a quick buck. Their motives aren’t as sinister as those of a North Korean group of hackers. McAfee researchers found that a North Korean hacking group nicknamed Sun Team recently posted three infected Android apps to the Play Store in a bid to target those who have defected from North Korea.
The infected apps remained on the Play Store for three months and were only removed after Google was notified about them privately. They had about 100 downloads before they were removed.
The report adds that the hackers then reached out to the defectors over Facebook to try and get them to install the seemingly harmless apps related to food and security. Once the apps were installed, they would lift data such as text messages, photos, and contacts to send them back to the hackers using Dropbox and Yandex.
McAfee believes that the Sun Team is different from another North Korean hacker group known as Lazarus. That group is believed to have the state’s backing while it’s unclear if Sun Team has the same level of support.

It appears that NVIDIA might soon be launching a new graphics card. Reports suggest that the company is preparing to launch the Founders Edition version of the GeForce GTX 1180 on June 15th. It’s said that the new graphics card would be superior to NVIDIA’s existing flagship video card, the TITAN Xp. Previous reports have suggested that the new card will be based on the Turing architecture.
It’s claimed that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1180 will be Turing-based with a 12nm FinFET die shrink, GT104 GPU with 3584 CUDA cores and a core clock speed of 1600MHz. Peak FP32 performance will reportedly come in at 13 Teraflops with 8-16GB of GDDR6 memory.
If the claimed numbers are accurate then the new card will certainly tout significant improvements in both power and efficiency but this is far from confirmed at this point in time because NVIDIA itself hasn’t released any numbers.
It’s also unclear how much NVIDIA is going to charge for this graphics card. The TITAN Xp costs $1,200 so perhaps this will be a few hundred dollars cheaper. NVIDIA is expected to launch the GTX 1180 Founders Edition first and subsequently release it before custom cards from partners like ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte hit the market later this year between August and September.
