An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.
Fraudsters are increasingly sending malicious files via social media and messaging apps to steal users' money. They disguise them as "useful" files—for example, free e-books or antivirus software. However, if a user downloads and opens such a file, the scammers gain complete remote control of the device. This allows the attackers to read incoming SMS messages, view call logs, and control all smartphone functions.
Be careful and never click links from strangers or open files received from them. It's best to block such contacts. Install antivirus software on your mobile device and update it regularly.
