Great job! please keep making more of these.
Sure, I will. Thanks! :)
It's scary how vulnerable our devices are to malicious applications. It makes me think twice about downloading an app from an unknown developer. I wish Google would do proper screening to what's being uploaded to Playstore, instead of removing such applications after the users have already been exploited.
You are right, it is really hard to decide if app is legitimate or not. Sometimes it helps when you double check the app through Google and try to find if it is somehow connected to official service or product.
Is it safe to say that all this security issues on google play store are not relevant for iPhone users and the App Store / iOS apps ?
For all the mentioned issues in the video - yes - it is safe to say that these harmful apps are not relevant for iOS apps. E.g. if you find "Flapy Birr Dog" from #1 on Apple App Store, it will not be the same app or threat.
Wow this is interesting dude! How about apps like cyberflix? And other streaming services which are downloaded outside the Playstore?
Never heard about cyberflix. Can you send me link apk or more info about the app, I could quickly analyzed it.
Thanks! cyberflixtv.xyz/
I am convinced a lot of people are using apps like these, downloaded outside the Playstore, but everytime you do, you know it is even more unsafe then from outside the Playstore
@@Ginko735 Yes, when you want to try particular app or game - even thought installing it could be risky - you forget about security.
Yeah and when it's about a free Netflix with lots more content, users are tempted to install apps while they know it could be a huge risk
