Το αξιοσημείωτο είναι ότι η εφαρμογή προσποιείται ότι έχει αναπτυχθεί από την Google και ότι αποτελεί μέρος του Google Photos.

This free app Album by Google Photos claims to be created by Google LLC and its description reads: “Finally, a photos app that's as smart as you.”

Album by Google Photos is a progressive web app that works as a front of Google Photos, but contains an ad clicker pack. If you run the application, the ad clicker will connect to remote hosts and show ads in the background to generate revenue for malware developers.

The ad clicker consists of three files located in the application folder. They are called Block Craft 3D.dll, Block Craft 3D.exe and Block Craft 3D.xr.
