Fake Google Play

This fake google play site serves a malicious file called, google_play.apk which tricks russian users into thinking that they are the legitimate site.

Google Authenticator updated

Google recently updated Google Authenticator to version 2.15.

What's in this version:
1. New entry for Google Play, same great app
2. Updated look and feel
3. "Scan barcode" and "Manually add account" options moved to Menu > Add account.

When your phone is not connected to any network, Google Authenticator can be used to generate a valid verification code.

The verification code generated is then used in Google's 2-step verification process when signing in from a new device or phone.
