However, if we abstract from the exact spreading way and will think of why it has success, the answer will be really basic – low level of cybersecurity understanding.

It is important to know what is legitimate – to avoid misunderstandings when attempting to find out a virus.

While the first one is not so easy to avoid – you should know a lot to understand a counterfeit – the 2nd one is easy to get rid of: just don’t use hacked apps. Torrent-trackers and other sources of “free” applications (which are, in fact, paid, but with a disabled license checking) are really a giveaway point of malware.
