SA has not been spared as a new Android Trojan has been identified.
Collard said, typically, the malicious apps get on to your phone by tricking you to click on a link in a WhatsApp, SMS or social media message you may receive out of the blue or even from one of your friends whose accounts have already been compromised.
Zimperium said if your phone battery runs out too quickly, if you have pop-ups coming up, or strange apps that one has not downloaded are the red flags which could indicate that your phone has been hacked or infected with mobile malware.“Don’t ever click on a WhatsApp or SMS link that tries to trick you into updating an app, downloading an app or installing anything.
Zimperium said if you think that your device is infected, the first thing you can do is try to remove the suspicious app. “You could go back in time and restore the device as a new device from a previous backup or if it's still persistent you may need to do a full reset.” Zimperium said for Android devices, it is highly recommended to download a mobile security or antivirus app that scans the device and removes the malicious app.
