Android: Millions of alert phones, serious problem
Android is an operating system for mobile terminals characterized by freedom, ie users have access to a variety of operating system functions, and can provide permissions to access them..The applications that are infected with the Joker malware for Android demand access to these permissions, and on their basis people subscribe to expensive online services, with a monthly payment, hiding the messages of confirmation of the subscription, generally received by SMS.
Android has enough types of malware thought very complex, so the victims have not been injured until they look at the transactions issued by their banks.It is only at that point that many discovers how serious the problem is and that it is possible to have been infected with serious malware, but unfortunately its deletion from Android phones is not easy, and re -infection is possible at any time.
Android has applications with Joker distributed and through Google Play Store, unfortunately, even if they are very few in number, so before installing an application look carefully who developed it.
