> Don't download Microsoft Teams if it claims an app developer with an unrecognisable name and only 500 downloadeds, don't download cracked games, be wary of the obvious free-to-play clones, and if a web page shows a flashing gif warning you that Whatsapp is outdated, don't install the APK file it's trying to push through your browser.
Ah, so pretty much all the warning signs people ignore when clicking on a phishing link or an advertisement saying they’re the millionth visitor.
I don’t want this coming anywhere near iOS. Maybe a controversial opinion, but I’d rather have that than my Grandma’s entire retirement account being emptied because of a malicious app.
- nerdix 3y agoI just searched for Microsoft Teams in the Play Store and there were no imposters in the search results. Searched for just "Teams" and again, no app trying to masquerade as MS Teams was in the results. You could download cracked games but you can't install them without enabling third party apk installs. Grandma isn't likely to do that. Same for any random webpage that pushes an apk.
