When users download free apps or games, they may not only accidentally sign up for expensive subscriptions, but also risk exposing themselves to long-term surveillance by spies. According to Pavel Myasoedov, director of the IT-Reserve company, this is a serious threat.
To avoid such unpleasant situations, the expert recommends periodically removing unnecessary free applications. Many of them have hidden monetization mechanisms and developers may use them for dubious purposes.
It is especially important to be careful and check certain applications on your device. Some programs such as Super Wallpapers, Flashlight, Beauty, Camera Plus and many more may be associated with malicious activities and attacks from hackers. In such cases, it is better to safely uninstall or reinstall applications from trusted sources.
