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.

    Apologies, kind poster. I didn’t mean to insult your mom. But I can see how my comment may have looked like that, so I’ll humbly accept your indignation.

    From my POV, it sounded like you were saying “50 year olds are dumb lol,” but that wasn’t the case. All good.

      Communication isn’t my strong point. I know what I mean but often putting what I mean into words fails to get my point across. No worries. :)

      Nah, was merely stating she’s in her 50s and would probably fall for something like that. My gran was worse. Oh my days, the amount of times I had to sort her laptop for her cause she’d click sketchy links. God rest her soul. But even she understood netflix. Lmfao. I’m not really that tech savvy, but since I’m the 90s kid, I’m designated tech support.
