Google has suspended the Chinese shopping app Pinduoduo on its Play Store after malware was discovered in some versions.

Pinduoduo, a well-known e-commerce app in China, frequently gives users discounts when they purchase several items.

Users were advised by Google to remove any Pinduoduo apps that hadn’t been downloaded from the Google Play Store.

The enforcement of Google Play Protect has been configured to prevent efforts to install the aforementioned malicious apps.

Users who downloaded malicious copies of the app to their devices are notified and asked to uninstall the app.

According to Pinduoduo, there are a number of additional apps that Google Play has temporarily suspended.

Pinduoduo has been suspended amid heightened tensions between the United States and China.

China and Russia were cited as the two biggest threats to the USA in the government’s newly released cybersecurity strategy.
