An application that has been operating stably for three years has been removed from the shelves and banned: hit malware, mobile spam software, behavioral transparency

This is GGZC. Recent issues such as Google developer review and account bans are almost always due to malware, mobile spam software, behavioral transparency, etc. The process sequence for such accounts to be deactivated is to first remove the app and then terminate Google Play. For developer accounts, we will first receive a notification about the removal of the app, and then a notification about the termination of the developer account.

Such situations will appear one after another after July 2023, and will almost reach the peak state in August and September. I thought that this situation was only for the review of new accounts. Not long ago (October), our old application (old account) that had been running stably for 3 years suddenly received Malware, Mobile Unwanted Software & Behavior Transparency (malware, mobile junkware, behavioral transparency). As shown below

In traditional wisdom, most people believe that the longer the history of applications and accounts, the more stable and reliable the quality. After all, a long-term compliance status is displayed in the Google Store. According to traditional theory, Google will not easily deactivate an application that has been stable for 3 years.

Regarding the reasons why old accounts were deactivated: malware, mobile spam software, behavioral transparency, etc., we came to the following conclusions after analysis.
