A sneaky type of spyware called Mandrake has been hiding in some popular Android apps. These apps looked harmless, like tools for sharing files or playing games, but they were actually spying on people
Over 32,000 people downloaded these bad apps from the Google Play Store. They were able to steal information from people’s phones, take screenshots, and even install other harmful apps.
The worst part is that these apps stayed on the Google Play Store for a long time without anyone knowing they were dangerous. This shows how hard it is to keep our phones safe.
If you have any of these apps on your phone:
- AirFS
- Astro Explorer
- Amber
- CryptoPulsing
- Brain Matrix
Delete them right away!
Google is working to make their app store safer, but it’s important to be careful about what apps you download. Always check the reviews and make sure the app is from a trusted developer.
Remember: Your phone’s security is important. Be cautious and protect your personal information.
