New alert from Android Owners:
Google has banned three more dangerous rip-off mobile phone apps as part of a crackdown on scammers.
The apps attempt to scam users out of money by mimicking genuine apps.
However, they are actually riddled with trojan horses that can hijack your information or begin paid subscriptions without being asked by the user.
One of them has a bug called Jocker, which can avoid Google’s security detection.
What apps have the Jocker bug?
The dangerous bug has been found on three apps: Style Message, Blood Pressure App and Camera PDF Scanner.
In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
