Pavel Myasoedov, director of IT-Reserve company, told the agency: “Hit the primer”By downloading a free program or game on his smartphone, the user can silently sign up for an expensive subscription or help “spies” track him for years.
To avoid such a scenario, the expert recommended periodically deleting all unnecessary free applications, since developers often create hidden monetization mechanisms.
Myasoedov recommends paying close attention to applications that offer free wallpapers for screensavers, video and photo editors, QR code scanners and others.
According to him, it is better to install such applications from a reliable source.
