Expert Warns of Malicious Apps on Official App Stores
Cybersecurity expert Adrien Merveille advises users to be cautious when downloading apps from App Store and Play Store.
According to Adrien Merveille, director of technology at Check Point Software, cybercriminals can bypass security checks on official app stores, allowing malicious apps to be published.
Merveille advises users to only download apps from official stores, as they have built-in security measures, and to check the app’s rating, reviews, and permissions before installation.
He also warns against granting excessive permissions to apps, as this can allow malicious apps to access sensitive data and take control of the device.
