App Security: Be careful! Apps hidden in your mobile can steal your photos. Nowadays, it is very easy to install apps on the phone, but after installing the app, many people have to face security risks. There are some tools installed in your phone that silently keep stealing your photos, details, and even your crypto wallet information. Recently, a new malware named SparkKitty has emerged, which is targeting people through very common-looking apps.

This virus is hidden in apps with messaging, photo editing, or crypto-related features. As soon as you open the app, it asks for permission to access the photo gallery, and most of us click on "Allow" without thinking.

Once permission is granted, this malware uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to recognize the text hidden in the pictures. If you have ever saved the password or recovery phrase of your crypto wallet as a screenshot, then this virus can steal it.

So now the question is, how to avoid this?

Think before installing an app: Install only those apps whose developers are well-known and have good reviews.

Give permission carefully: It is important to know why an app is asking for permission to access your photos, files, or camera.

Don't keep crypto details in photos: Never save passwords or recovery phrases in screenshots.

Use a password manager: A secure password manager is the best way to store important details.

Keep a security app on your phone: Make sure to keep a good antivirus app on your phone, which can catch such dangerous apps.

Express your feedback, wallet details, and know-how to avoid it.
