If you have a Facebook account and like to occasionally try out the odd photo-editing app, VPN service, “high-quality” 3D game, or even business tool from Google Play or Apple’s App Store without taking a very close look at user ratings and reviews, chances are your social media credentials are compromised, requiring immediate attention.
What happened?
As much as we’d like to blame the latest mobile security snafu on an unusual slip-up from Google or Apple that the two tech giants can learn from and make sure will never happen again, the truth is… different and fairly easy to guess.
As usual, all that Google can do is purge the Play Store of all the malicious titles listed below, which has reportedly taken place with relative quickness. What’s somewhat unusual is the sheer number of apps you need to stay away from, as well as Apple’s negligence in dealing with an undoubtedly related group of phony business iOS apps.
These (Android and iOS) apps all had in common one thing, mind you, requiring users to log in with Facebook before accessing the features and functionality of said apps, which should have been a major red flag.
Unfortunately, many people evidently ignored that red flag while also not digging very deep into the reviews of these apps, having their Facebook usernames and passwords stolen in the unsecure login process. That means you should change your social media password immediately if you have any reason to fear you’ve fallen victim to this huge malware-spreading campaign.
And now here are all the apps you need to delete ASAP
