These 400 malicious apps are up to no good
In case you missed it, Meta recently published a spine-tingling report regarding 400 malicious apps plaguing Android and iOS devices. Masquerading as innocuous software, these vicious apps are designed to steal users' Facebook login information and hijack their accounts.
Unfortunately, some of these apps evaded detection and slipped into the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, acting as legitimate apps. On the plus side, Meta disclosed its findings to Apple and Google, and consequently, the tech giants removed the malicious apps from their respective app stores. However, that doesn't automatically remove the apps from your phone, so if you have any of these 400 apps lurking on your phone, you must delete them ASAP!
