    Once again I have to say that Google should be ashamed of themselves. It's so easy for people to get tricked into downloading malware via Google Ads.

    They could turn all these stories into a TV series: Same street - different house.

    You can say that again, here is another one, a woman was scammed by a fake crypto app on the Google Play Store. Of course you can say she's an idiot for investing so much money into crypto on some unknown app, but it's Google's job to protect against malware and scams.
