Under the guise of providing Android users with a more secure way to chat, hackers are now using a fake chat app to install spyware on vulnerable smartphones.
As reported by BleepingComputer, a fake Android app called ‘SafeChat’ is making the rounds online by claiming to be one of the best encrypted messaging apps. However, instead of offering end-to-end encrypted chats, the app is actually spyware capable of stealing call logs, text messages and users’ GPS locations from infected smartphones.
