After banning cryptocurrency mining extensions from Chrome Store earlier this year, Google now banned Play Store applications that perform similar activities.
In a new update of its developer policies, the technology giant has indicated that the applications that are used to extract cryptocurrencies will be banned from now on.
However, the technology company based in Mountain View, California made an exception regarding the applications that are used in the remote management of the mining cryptocurrency, as they will be allowed. "We do not allow applications that extract cryptocurrencies on devices. We allow applications that manage remotely the extraction of cryptocurrencies, "reads the updated guidelines.
The ban comes as a result of growing cases of crypto-devices that are increasingly considered more lucrative than ransomware by malicious actors. In April of this year, for example, the world's cybersecurity company Kaspersky revealed that the cryptocurrency mining applications containing the Coinhive miner are offered on the Google Play Store disguised as harmless entertainment applications.
