Beware of XLoader - the Android malware that can steal your private data through deception
- XLoader is an Android malware strain that can steal sensitive data like photos, texts, contacts without you even opening it
- It spreads via text messages with malicious links that trick users by appearing to come from a known contact
- Clicking the link leads to downloading an infected APK file or a Chrome browser decoy to grant permissions
- Once installed, XLoader runs quietly in the background gathering private data
- Protect yourself by avoiding sideloading apps, limiting permissions, updating devices, using reputable antivirus software
