You have to see how complicated it is to have an electronic device in your hands without a virus having to interfere with your cordial relations. If until now viruses have been walking around his house like Pedro on computers, now they do so on mobile phones. And more specifically, through smart mobile phones with Android operating system. Not even Google has been spared. It was just today when the Kaspersky company, an expert in viruses, Trojans and other computer diseases, has advanced that there is adangerous Trojan that attacks Android users who download videos from porn sites. One of the scams of the century.
To deceive users, cybercriminals use a program called pornplayer.apk that downloads through porn pages and that, in theory, would be the gateway to a good assortment of content videos of this type. The fact is that after installing it manually, the user receives the request to send SMS, something uncommon in these cases. By accepting and executing the program, the Trojan starts sending SMS messages, the cost of which is five euros per unit. As you might imagine, the hoax can turn into a truly colossal scam.
We must be attentive to any strange symptoms that we can find on pages of this type or in our normal browsing through the Internet. Android is the operating system that is growing more strongly, so it is not surprising that new and aggressive Trojans proliferate to empty our pockets or give us more of a headache. It is recommended not to succumb to automatic updates and installations and to be especially attentive to requests for downloads from suspiciously unknown sources.
