Porn and mobile malware; two things that can illicit the response “I didn’t know how it got there” when someone finds them. We have recently caught sight of a mobile ransomware distributed by fake adult websites. However, much like a lot of things in the adult industry, this malware doesn’t seem very logical.
This piece showcases an incident that can help users understand mobile threats and aims to boost user awareness to these threats. We believe that securing knowledge of common avenues cybercriminals use to spread mobile malware, as well as secure settings are one’s first line of defense. We also advise users to install Trend Micro Mobile Security Personal Edition as it detects malicious apps and secures devices from attacks.
