FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Android phone users warned about downloading apps | History Defined

A warning has been issued to Android phone users about the risk of downloading certain apps. Anyone who has installed the apps in question is being urged to delete them immediately.

Earlier this week it was found that malicious malware called SharkBot has been affecting apps on Google Play. The malware is a banking trojan first discovered in 2018 - it would steal victim's login information, allowing hackers to use their accounts.

The two apps that should be deleted straight away are Mister Phone Cleaner and Kylhavy Mobile Security, the Liverpool Echo reports. They have already been removed from the Google app store.
