AC Question
I recently downloaded an APK of a free app. The site where I downloaded it from is not well known (it's called apkpure) The App got installed fine and even got updated through the Google Play. However, after installing the app, I was paranoid about possible malware in the sideloaded APK.
So I have few questions here-
1) Can a modified APK receive update through the Google Play?
2) Is there any way to know whether the side loaded APK was genuine?
3) Does every modified APK poses a secuirty risk? To rephrase it, can a modified APK be harmless?
PS - The APK was not available on APKMirror. So, downloaded it from APKpure
