If you have an Apple device, feel free to move on to the next Consumertrics story – but if you have an Android phone, your next move should be to look at all the apps on your device.
Google has issued a warning to the billions of Android users that 19 distinct apps could hurt them.
Adware, malware, spyware, trojans, and other harmful software are all included in these dangerous apps, which are a scammer’s one-stop shop. All have the ability to corrupt a phone, steal your identity, passwords, or money-related data like bank account and credit card details.
On the apps you need to delete? Great! You may recognize some of the programs on the list below as ones you have previously used without any issues. However, nefarious con artists have sunk as low as they are capable of by downloading these apps themselves, reengineering them by inserting the malicious code, and then reposting them on the Google Play store, claims MalwareFox.
