VLC, Kodi, Popcorn Time and Stremio vulnerable to malware fired from booby-trapped subtitles

By crafting malicious subtitle files for films and TV programmes, which are then downloaded by viewers, attackers can hope to take complete control of any device running the vulnerable platforms. Hackers have pushed trojans under the guise of subtitle files as far back as 2003.

I saw that now they are also targetting new apps. Rather new apps are very prone to such injections of malware. New apps like yesmovies apk app aren't getting hit by such attacks.

Well I guess from that point many movie streaming apps fixed this issue for their apps.
