There’s another fresh warning for Android smartphone owners and ignoring it will prove costly. The latest alert comes via the security experts at Kaspersky who discovered 11 popular apps that all contain something called a subscription Trojan. Once installed, this nasty bug can hide away on a device and stealthy sign unsuspecting users up for expensive monthly subscriptions without them ever knowing.
“Affected users often fail to discover the unwanted subscriptions right away, let alone find out how they happened in the first place. All this makes subscription Trojans a reliable source of illegal income in the eyes of cybercriminals," Kaspersky's Dmitry Kalinin explained.
