Hackers are using a fake Android app named ‘SafeChat’ to infect devices with spyware malware that steals call logs, texts, and GPS locations from phones.
The Android spyware is suspected to be a variant of “Coverlm,” which steals data from communication apps such as Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Viber, and Facebook Messenger.
Anything with the word ‘safe’ in it should be immediately distrusted.
Probably why Google went from SafetyNet to Play Integrity. Maybe we should also start distrusting “integrity” as well, given how they’re trying to push the Web Integrity crap.
