Four Malicious Apps Android Users in Nigeria Must Beware Of – NITDA

 

The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has issued a warning regarding several malicious apps targeting Android users in Nigeria.

According to NITDA, these apps are designed with the intent to infiltrate devices, steal sensitive information, and compromise user privacy.

“As cybercriminals become more sophisticated, it is crucial for individuals to remain vigilant and informed about potential threats,” stated a spokesperson for NITDA.

Malicious apps often masquerade as legitimate software, offering attractive features or services to deceive unsuspecting users into downloading them.

Once installed, these apps can execute harmful activities such as data theft, unauthorized access to personal information, and financial fraud.

NITDA’s latest statement highlighted four particularly dangerous apps that Android users in Nigeria should avoid:

1. Crazy Game
2. Sexy Videos
3. TikToks
4. Weapons

NITDA emphasised the importance of staying aware of these threats and adopting safe mobile practices to safeguard devices and personal data from cyberattacks.
