Increasingly, we install various applications on our smartphones without understanding the potential risks they may pose.
It turns out that even applications available on Google Play may not fully guarantee user security. Interestingly, even those from official, authorized sources can sometimes extract confidential data from our mobile devices.
The website gp24.pl warns owners of devices from brands such as Huawei, Realme, VIVO, Xiaomi, and Samsung about certain applications. Experts recommend avoiding these apps and advise checking if they are already installed. If so, they should be removed immediately.
Data loss can lead to serious consequences. It is therefore important to thoroughly review your phone's menu and ensure you are not using these dangerous applications.
What are the dangers?
Additionally, it is recommended that devices be protected from unauthorized access using available security measures, such as locks, codes, or owner recognition systems.
Among the undesirable applications are WOW Beauty Camera, Creative 3D Launcher, Gif Emoji Keyboard, 2FA Authenticator, Trojan Vultur, Style Message, and Custom Themed Keyboard. Some of these apps have already been removed from Google Play for allowing unauthorized users to access the phone's content.
Remember that simply removing the application icon from the home screen does not guarantee a solution to the problem. To secure our data, savings, and communication accounts, we must perform a full uninstallation of the application, which will eliminate all unwanted mechanisms.
