This is a SpawnPoint MC News 📰 Alert
Minecraft, a popular and best-selling game, has not only attracted the attention of gamers globally but also scammers.

Though these malicious apps were deleted from official stores, Kaspersky experts have found newly developed ones, which exploit the game to further fraudsters' objectives.
