Before installing software, review its security features—encryption, access control, permissions, and update frequency—to ensure your data stays safe.

Key Points:

• Is data encrypted during transfer and storage?
• Does it use secure login methods (like MFA)?
• Are permissions reasonable?
• Are security updates frequent?

Tips:

• Download only from trusted sources.
• Look for security certifications or privacy policies.
• Test unfamiliar software in a sandbox or virtual machine.
• Keep software updated regularly.

Always avoid using outdated or unsupported software. These programs no longer receive security updates, which makes them easy targets for online threats. Attackers often take advantage of known problems in older software versions. Updating apps is just as important as updating your operating system—both help keep your data and devices safe.

Scammers are sending fake login alerts that mimic legitimate messages from well-known platforms to trick users into confirming their email addresses. These emails often include verification codes and reply links that start a conversation, eventually leading to requests for sensitive information. To stay safe, avoid responding to unexpected messages, never share personal details via email, and always verify account activity through the official app or website.

Delete apps you no longer use because old apps can put your security at risk. When apps aren’t updated, they might have weaknesses that attackers can take advantage of. These apps might still have permission to access your personal information or device features. Having many unused apps increases the chances of a security problem. Regularly cleaning out old apps helps protect your device and keep your data safe.

Cybersecurity experts have uncovered a scam where fake cryptocurrency trading apps are being used to spread a dangerous malware called JSCEAL. This malware steals login info, crypto wallet data, and more.

Hackers post fake ads on Facebook using stolen or fake accounts. These ads lead victims to fake websites that look like real services (like TradingView), tricking them into downloading harmful apps.

The malware is hidden in parts—some in the website’s code, others in the app installer. It avoids detection by running only under specific conditions, such as when the user clicks through Facebook or is in a targeted region.

Once installed, the app silently opens a real website to avoid suspicion. In the background, it collects system data, records keystrokes, takes screenshots, and steals passwords and crypto wallet info. It also sets up a local proxy to spy on web traffic and inject malicious code into banking and crypto websites.
