IT expert Sergei Lipov described the unstable operation of the application as a sign of malicious intent. His words guide the way “lenta.ru”.
Reviews described complaints about the app’s strange behavior, unexpected requests to access personal data and other suspicious actions as another sign that should alert users.
The expert also urged people to be wary of apps with unknown developers, as well as apps that contain annoying ads and constant redirects to dubious sites.
Lipov said the most obvious sign that a phone is infected is when the phone sends messages without the owner’s knowledge.
If all these signals are detected, he recommended uninstalling the suspicious application and scanning the phone with antivirus programs.
Before that, one of the signs that a smartphone is infected with malware was named fast battery consumption.
Previous iPhone users warned It’s about a dangerous virus.
