Mobile malware can arrive in various forms, from sneaky apps to deceptive links and as mentioned before, understanding these common traps is your first line of defence.

  • Malicious & Fake Apps – Always research apps before downloading, verify their authenticity and ensure you download from a trusted source.
  • SMS scams – Be aware of unexpected text messages, especially those asking for sensitive information or those that include links.
