It would be better if you cite all the possible application that can cause cryptojacking in android phones to spread awareness among our people.

I have read a recent article that League of Legends an PC online game had spreaded cryptojacking in most of the pc platform. If I am not mistaken the issue haven been solved tho I am not that updated when it comes to pc gaming lol.

Another thing is please avoid rooting your android phones as it may alter the operating system which can cause a complete access to everything making it vulnerable an unknown types of files installed.

Thank you very much and this is noted! Regarding android phones particularly, I have been researching what specific apps have been tagged as cryptojackers but I am yet to find definite answers. The only credible one I got was from Rappler, which was the Bug Smasher app.

If this helps, I found out that several dictionary applications, particularly a Portuguese language app, a zombie-themed game, and a VPN. Google claimed that they have been removing them since however.
