There are still new ones, unfortunately also the “sneaky” ones. Security experts have detected another dangerous app on Google Play. Make sure you don’t have it on your phone.
Dangerous apps on our phones
From time to time, apps appear in the store that somehow manage to evade antivirus checks. As soon as this happens, there will always be users who will download the application. And when this happens, problems begin, because in many of them there are hidden so-called. “Trojan horses” that infect the device, e.g. to steal .
Recently, experts detected a very dangerous application in the Google Play Store. Why dangerous? Because it steals our data from phones. To make matters worse, the app has been downloaded by over 100,000 people.
“Symoo”. An app that steals data
The “Symoo” application that we can find in the Google Play store is used to send and receive SMS messages. At least that’s what it says in the description. As we read on the website, “irregularities related to its operation were noticed by a security researcher from Eviny – Maxime Ingrao’s company”.
The case has become quite loud, and more and more people are interested in the “faulty” application. The website says that Maxime Ingrao has reported his concerns to Google, but has not received a response on this matter. The portal itself also tried to contact the company. However, no response from them.
Experts have determined that the fake “Symoo” app is used to create accounts on sites such as Microsoft, Google, Instagram, Telegram and Facebook.
Do you have such an application on your phone? Be sure to remove it.
