From the Dark Side
by Tiny Ruisch
I think it is about time we have another Android malware scare. Lately, I’ve noticed that many of the tech blogs I read are starting to get a little dull. There have been many articles on what the best cell phone case is, why you should clean your screen with spit, which camera is better and various other mundane tripe.
If the bad guys would only write some new software that threatens to steal all of our private information, the bogs could get back to writing useful articles about how we can all stay safe. Maybe reviewers will start emphasizing phones security and updating procedures and less to telling us which has the best camera. Wouldn’t it be nice to start seeing more stories on which apps are bogus?
Actually, most of these fears are unnecessary since many malware reports are theoretical. Your equipment would be compromised only if you downloaded a certain app on Tuesday between noon and four when it is raining.
Even though most Android threats are often click bait, I’d still like to see more of them. After all, the presidential election is getting closer. I’d much rather read lies about Android than politics.
Thanks for reading.
