I4C warns against malicious Android apps from social media ads

The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) has issued an advisory about malicious Android applications disguised as adult-content apps, which are promoted through social media and distributed outside official app stores. The National Cybercrime Threat Analytics Unit (NCTAU) warned that these apps can compromise mobile device security by requesting sensitive permissions and may install additional software without user consent, leading to unauthorized financial transactions. Users are advised to download apps only from trusted sources like the Google Play Store, avoid installing APK files from unverified sources, and refrain from granting accessibility permissions to untrusted applications. Recommendations include regularly reviewing installed apps, keeping Google Play Protect enabled, and monitoring bank accounts for unauthorized activities. Victims of cyber fraud are encouraged to report incidents via the national cybercrime helpline or the government’s reporting portal.

They might have grown up online — but Gen Z are apparently far less likely to use antivirus, study finds

A recent Kaspersky survey found that only 27% of Generation Z respondents use antivirus software on their mobile devices, despite 57% spending more time online than offline. The survey, which included 7,200 individuals from 18 countries, revealed that 52% have experienced attacks on their devices or accounts, and only 28% regularly back up important personal data. In response, Kaspersky launched "Case 404," a cyber-detective adventure game aimed at educating players about online security and helping them recognize scams and phishing attempts.
