Android Malware: An underestimated problem?

▤ Summary

Lets look at each signal separately: • Is there an app on your phone that you dont remember installing? • Some malware increases your phone bill by sending a lot of messages to premium service numbers. This is completely normal – after all, in most cases the devices are rarely powered off, if at all, and they are undergoing continuous charging and recharging cycles. The result is: whereas you could use the phone all day when it was new, a year or two later you might only get until the early evening before needing to plug it in. So, if your brand new phone only lasts half a day on a full charge, this might warrant a closer look into the possibility of a malware infection.
