HummingBad Continues to Infect Devices

Users that have opted not to have coverage and protection from an antivirus app are still being affected by the dangerous HummingBad virus. This goes for users that don’t update their phone whenever new security and software updates become available, too. This virus can really make their lives difficult. This virus allows the creator to do just about anything on the infected user’s device. It installs itself in the heart of the device and can steal personal information that it then uploads to private servers. This malware can also spy on users at any time. It also attempts to trick users into clicking on ads that help out its parent company, and further damage your device in the process.

There are currently over 10 million people still being affected by this virus, and the worst part is, there could still be many more that are affected. HummingBad is able to hide within devices and remain undetected for a long period of time — unless you have the proper antivirus software installed to locate it. Millions and millions of people have no doubt had banking information, social media information, and other personal data forwarded across the private servers. It’s absolutely dangerous but it’s also extremely stealthy — so make sure that your device is protected.
