Having chosen a good and inexpensive smartphone and buying it, everyone expects to get a safe device that can be entrusted with the most valuable - management of banking applications and personal information. As it turned out, in vain.

Trend Micro cybersecurity experts published a curious report according to which the Russian Federation turned out to be one of the leaders in the number of smartphones according to the viruses installed from the plant! According to experts, the detected malware is used for illegal registration in short -term rental services of a car, which allows scammers in the event of damage to the property of the rented car or the occurrence of an accident to transfer responsibility to the owner of the smartphone.

Trend Micro reports the identification of more than 16,000 infected gadgets "out of the box". In terms of the number of infected devices of the Russian Federation, only Indonesia is seconded. At the moment, the malware is detected on Chinese smartphones running the Android operating system. At risk, the owners of ZTE (Blade 3), Mione (P1, R5, R3, Hero 5), Meizu (V8), Huawei (Mate 20 Pro, P9, P20 Pro), as well as Honor. It is curious that previously such a gap was found in button phones.

It is not easy to identify such viruses. Owners should pay attention to the details of the SMS messages sent from the smartphone, the overspending of the Internet traffic or the battery of the device by unknown applications.
