It has only been a few days since news of fake websites peddling Jio Coin, a crypto currency reportedly in the works from Reliance, came up. Now, Google's Android Play Store is seeing a flood of apps - all purportedly peddling Jio Coin. At last count, there were at least 22 apps which had Jio Coin in their name available for download on the Play Store.They range from Jio Coin, to Jio Coin Buy and Jio Coin Crypto Currency. That is a long list of potentially dangerous permissions.Security researchers have pointed fingers at Google for letting fake apps fester. Unlike Apple's App Store that allows apps to be listed only after a stringent verification process, Google's more open Play Store allows developers to list apps easily.
