Mobile Apps That Steals Your Information (protect your crypto accounts)
Recently in the crypto community we have heard of hacks that resulted in the theft of large amounts of crypto tokens and Bitcoins by faking sim registrations on mobile devices.
A research by SophosLabs revealed apps that steal your private information even when an app states it does not access such information.
such information includes:
- User’s email address for Google account
- List of apps installed
- IMEI identifier and android_id
- Screen resolution
- Manufacturer, model, brand, OS version
- SIM operator
- App installation source
Privacy invading apps list:
if you have any of these apps installed, remove them, and change passwords on your email accounts, reset 2FA

Wow that's insane it seems like our privacy is slowly being stripped away as it has been since MySpace came out and now these apps stating false things and collecting data that their. Not allowed to. Keep up the great work your helping out a lot of ppl. Thank you hope ur having an amazing day. I'm new to do this community and I'm loving it. :)
One has to be very careful these days, there are some many shadowbrokers online
Watch out! They're even here on Steem: @theshadowbrokers
Wow, like seriously? Just checked out the profile. Awesome share @pfunk
Wow?! I had no idea that apps could even do this. I thought mobile phones were normally protected against these kind of issues... Thank you for the warning!
Nothing is ever safe, you would think nuclear facilities are safe, we all saw what happened with the Iranian program. If your device is connected it's not 100% safe.
Amazing posts @joseph

The Iranian nuke program wasn't even connected to the internet and the Israelis + Americans managed to get to it...
you would THINK that GOOGLE would TEST apps...and that all that time it takes to get apps approved on the app store would fucking go towards maybe LOOKING FOR SHIT LIKE THIS?!?! Kind of PROOF that Google WANTS bitcoin users to get hacked! Big globalists corporations that feed of the US dolllar being printed are trying to slow the inevitable so they can maybe get more cash to buy more BTC! They are strying to save up enough cash so theyc an buy TC when they ned to switch or maybe they are slowly buying bTC now???
ok maybe google isnt working wth these shadow pbrokers but how could tehy let this shit slide why is googe allowing all of these low wuality malware apps to be released on their fucking platform!?!?!
I am glad i have an iphone and I know apple is alot more strict...apple MUST protect its users or ther is no poiint using apple..they also give he illusion that the NSA cant soy on apple, its a joke, ttey just want the world to think apple is safe somehow, they lie about npt letting the NSA in, hah, benefit of having an ipone..
of course iphones can be hacked but the problem with andrpid is theres too many anroid devices, its bottom of the barrel, you get no choice, Apple iphone is ONE company its centarlzied, google android phones are just theres too many apps to keep track of, its so ubiquitos, so many android phones, there is some danger because of tat..hackers will look more into hacking android phones than they would iphone evcause theres just more android phonoes to hack...just dont get sloppy...i try to keep everthing on paper hand written no printers
You must be joking.
Oh my goodness that is such a long list!!! Thank you for sharing with us! Crazy that they're doing that.
That is not all the apps that steal your info, it's only some of them :D
Ohhhh I see! Well that's more refreshing to hear
I think I installed a couple of those in the past. darn...i guess i have to update my shit once more.
If I find any I would reset my phone. But I know how much of a hassle that can be. At least remove and change passwords, reset 2FA.
Everything is a big Fugazi
cryptography isnt fake....wars were won through cryptography
even if we were in a simulatio, bitcoins and crypto are still real as the 01s and 0s are stored somewherw in the matrix servers
Damn thats crazy! Thanks for the headsup 😀👍
Nice info @joseph
Thanks for great information @joseph,
We all kind of know these kind of things are happening whenever we install a random app. We just hoped they don't steal our data.
We were wrong.
