Google has removed many apps that appear as coronavirus apps from Play Store recently, but one Android app is actually ransomware. The CovidLock fools users posing like a coronavirus tracking app. It prompts users to give accessibility and lock screen permissions. Then it locks users out of their phones adding a password. The criminals behind CovidLock then demand $100 in Bitcoin within 48 hours to regain access.
