Barcode Scanner app on Google Play infects 10M users with one update
I noticed the package name com.qrcodescanner.barcodescanner. and went to https://qrcodescanner.com/ which advertises another very popular barcode scanner wescan.
they also offer an sdk of their own for including a barcode scanner into your app. https://github.com/WeTransfer/WeScan
I'm not really sure they are connected (package names don't verify domain names AFAIK). Just curious.
