Delete Immediately! 4 Apps on Your Phone That Cannot Be Trusted – Be Careful Not to Lose Your Bank Money!!!
Recently, cybersecurity experts have repeatedly warned about malicious apps on the Google Play Store (CH Play) that can spy on users and steal their personal information, especially bank funds. Therefore, if you have any of the following 4 apps installed, delete them immediately to avoid potential issues.
1. QR Code Scanner Apps
QR codes are now widely used everywhere, especially in supermarkets or various stores.
In the past, users needed to download specific apps to scan QR codes. However, today, major operating systems like iOS and Android already support QR code scanning directly through the phone’s camera. You just need a device running iOS 11 or later for iPhones or Android 8 and above for devices like Samsung or Oppo to use this feature.
2. Phone Cleaner Apps
Despite their names as “cleaner” or “antivirus” tools, many phone cleaner apps like Clean Master actually worsen device performance and increase the risk of malware.
Features like “CPU Cooling,” “Phone Booster,” “Antivirus,” or “Battery Saver” often fail to deliver the promised results. On the contrary, they drain battery life and bombard users with excessive advertisements, unnecessarily consuming device memory.
3. WiFi Access Apps
WiFi access apps such as WiFi Pagoda are considered risky because they allow users to connect to any WiFi network without a password. However, these apps can also steal your personal WiFi access and expose your personal data, bank accounts, or passwords stored on your device.
4. Weather Apps
Many users install weather apps to quickly check the weather forecast. However, they may not realize that these apps are among the biggest battery drainers on their phones.
If you only need basic weather updates for today, tomorrow, or the weekend, services like Google or Google Assistant (Google Now) can efficiently provide real-time weather updates without consuming additional battery.
