Don't let apps go Phishing

Phishing with Apps


In your mail inbox some of mail are non-general mails like that credit card I had supposedly applied for has been approved and second types of mail like that loan I had also outwardly sought has been sanctioned.
Let us hope that you know all about phishing where you tricked into clicking on bogus email link .So make sure that these types of mail is appropriate or not?! . But there is another backdoor which you may not considered and that is your mobile apps and permissions you grant to apps when you install them in your mobile.

When you sign in to your app it will ask you whether you want to create a new user name or password or log in with your Facebook , Google
or Twitter account and  you would have accepted to do or latter thereby opening up the app permission hole.

 Mobile apps have now become a new arena for cyber crime and it is not only about malware or phishing scams. Make sure to allow your data to be hijacked when you permission to random apps, most free apps usually have libraries where data collected from using the app is stored.


Don’t install harmful apps and if you install in your risk when permission to them please make sure that what types of data is collected from you and read it ,not leave ,most of people don’t read this they just scroll down and accept it all.

Follow:
1) On your computer, go to Facebook and click on the question mark on the top right. Click on privacy Checkup, click on next and remove the apps that you feel don’t require your Facebook information.  As well as

2) In Twitter, go to setting and privacy by clicking on your avatar next to the tweet bottom on the top right. Similarly

3) In Google account to http://myaccount.google.com/security and click on connected apps and site’s and manage the permission there.


BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DON'T BECOME A CONSENSUAL VICTIM.

THANKS.
