The Spookiest Mobile Hacks of 2016"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Endless candy, an excuse to dress up as a character from your favorite comic book, and carving pumpkins with family&#8230; What\u2019s not to love about Halloween? But witches, ghosts, and goblins aren\u2019t the only things to fear this time of year. This Halloween, there\u2019s a different kind of spooky story\u2014mobile hacks. Mobile security threats <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/four-mobile-security-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">are only growing<\/a>, and new hacks are popping up faster than you can say \u201ctrick or treat.\u201d Gather \u2018round as we share four mobile hacks of 2016 that left us afraid to sleep with the lights off.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>What\u2019s Scarier Than Malware? Ghost Malware:<\/u> <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Two years ago we uncovered a Trojan infecting Android devices running v. 5, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spamfighter.com\/News-20545-McAfee-Discovers-Ghost-Push-the-Android-Malware.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two years later<\/a> it\u2019s still on the loose, as many users haven\u2019t transferred to updated systems that cleared the infection. We deemed the Trojan \u201cGhost Push,\u201d as it dons several costumes in order to gain access to devices and their data. The malware starts its attack by posing as an application or plug-in, and finally disguises itself as Google Play, asking the user to disclose credit card information. Once Ghost Push makes its way into the mobile device, a second phishing overlay requests the victim\u2019s phone number and date of birth. Ghost Push is one shady character that you don\u2019t want to run into, so keep your device updated and avoid third-party app stores.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Hackers Are Total Brand Snobs:<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Brands used to pop up on soda cans and billboards, but today they\u2019re everywhere you look, both offline and on. We \u2018like\u2019 their pages, \u2018follow\u2019 them, and download their apps, and cyber attackers are catching on. Brand-associated apps lined with malicious files are popping up left and right, with 248,701 malicious apps <a href=\"http:\/\/www.infosecurity-magazine.com\/news\/brandassociated-malicious-apps-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discovered in 2016<\/a>. A big name is sometimes all of the validation we need to trust an app. Downloading a brand\u2019s app can come in handy for special deals, new content, and customer service, but malicious apps are like the neighbors who hand out toothpaste on Halloween. Malware? No thanks! Skip this one and be extra cautious when you download a brand\u2019s mobile app. Your phone will thank you.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Cat Videos and Malware:<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube is everyone\u2019s favorite distraction. What starts with Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s latest music video quickly spirals into an endless black hole of entertainment. Cyber criminals love to take the fun out of everything, and YouTube was the latest victim when <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/voice-recognition-hack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hidden voice commands<\/a> were uncovered. That\u2019s right, just having your phone nearby while you scroll through videos could be enough to infect your device. By embedding a manipulated voice saying \u201cOk Google,\u201d criminals can alert your device and control it, all without your knowledge. Luckily, this hack hasn\u2019t taken off just yet, but the possibility is present. To avoid this hack, consider turning off the always-on mode for your microphone.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Spooky Spyware Malware Hits Android:<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/spylocker-malware-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SpyLocker<\/a>, an Android banking malware, targeted customers of large banks in Australia, Turkey, and New Zealand. The mobile malware dressed up in one of the year\u2019s trendiest costumes, a Flash Player, and stole login credentials from 20 different banking apps. Android devices both old and new were targeted, leaving call logs, incoming SMS messages, and other personal information in hackers\u2019 hands. Does the thought of a criminal reading your text messages give you the heebie-jeebies? Us, too.<\/p>\n<p>Did we leave you scared?
