Potential risk apps threaten phone security, experts warn
There may be dangerous applications installed on our phones. Often, we are not aware of them. This can result in the loss of valuable data, for example. It is better to remove them.
Increasingly, we install various applications on our smartphones without being aware of their potential risks.
It turns out that even applications available on Google Play may not guarantee total security for users. Interestingly, even those from official, authorized sources can use their functions to extract confidential data from our mobile devices.
The website gp24.pl warns owners of devices from brands such as Huawei, Realme, VIVO, Xiaomi, and Samsung about certain applications. Experts recommend avoiding installing these apps on your phones. It is also worth checking if they have already been installed, and in such a case, they should be removed immediately.
Data loss can lead to severe consequences. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly review your phone's menu and ensure you are not using these dangerous applications.
What are the dangers?
The website gp24.pl has compiled a list of applications we should remove from our devices. Additionally, it recommends using available security measures, such as locks, codes, or owner recognition systems, to protect devices from unauthorized access.
Among the undesirable applications are WOW Beauty Camera, Creative 3D Launcher, GIF Emoji Keyboard, 2FA Authenticator, Trojan Vultur, Style Message, and Custom-Themed Keyboard. Some of them have already been removed from Google Play for allowing unauthorized users to access the phone's content.
Remember that simply removing the application icon from the home screen does not guarantee a solution to the problem. To secure our data, savings, and communication accounts, we must fully uninstall the application, which will eliminate all unwanted mechanisms.
