The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has recently identified several malicious apps targeting Android users in Nigeria.
These apps are designed to infiltrate devices, steal sensitive information, and compromise user privacy.
As cybercriminals become more sophisticated, it is crucial for individuals to remain vigilant and informed about potential threats. Malicious apps can masquerade as legitimate software, often offering attractive features or services to lure unsuspecting users into downloading them. Once installed, these apps can execute harmful activities such as data theft, unauthorized access to personal information, and financial fraud.
In its latest statement NITDA revealed four very malicious apps identified that Android users in Nigeria must avoid. By staying aware from these threats and adopting safe mobile practices, Nigerians can protect their devices and personal data from cyberattacks. Below are the four apps which according to NITDA are known to carry malware.
1. Crazy Game
