Hi guys, in this article i will cover a subject that all of you must be very careful.
This subject is the app you dowload (.apk) either from playstore or from mails , viber etc etc.
All of you that have downloaded VivaVideo (chinese developped application) that you can make free video editing, must know that is responsible for over 20 million malicious transaction attempts that had as result 27 million $ in fake charges for users of this application.
As you can see at the upstream article https://www.upstreamsystems.com/27-million-premium-subscription-fraud-and-invisible-ads-within-vivavideo-identified-by-secure-d/?utm_source=Forbes&utm_medium=Article&utm_campaign=VivaVideoReport
it is very dangerous to have this app in your phone and you must UNISTALL this NOW.
because : i) Hidden premium subscription attempts took place
ii) Malicious mobile applications are good at curtailing activity when being monitored
iii) VivaVideo requires unnecessary user permissions
iv) VivaVideo contains a known ad fraud SDK, which is banned from Google
I do not give you technical information about this application but as a programmer that my activity is at network security i can say you NEVER INSTALL an application from other source except PLAYSTORE and WHEN YOU GIVE PERMISSION you can be STOLEN .
Maybe in another article we can create such and application to can steal data from an android (believe me , it is very easy)
I hope guys i helped you a little , if you had download this application.
Until next article, do not forget to tip me, follow me and comment me.
