India’s national cybersecurity organization, CERT-IN, has warned about a dangerous Android malware
It is called “Daam” & it poses a significant threat to user data security.
Once infiltrated, the Daam malware can access and retrieve a wide range of confidential data
Including browsing history, call logs, contact information, camera contents, SMS messages, and files.
It operates by circumventing security measures, making it challenging to detect and remove.
For safeguarding Android devices against the Daam malware and similar risks, CERT-IN has offered crucial best practices and recommendations:
1. Minimize the risk of downloading potentially harmful apps by relying on official app stores
2. Before downloading an app, even from trusted sources, thoroughly review its details
3. Avoid browsing untrusted websites or clicking on suspicious links.
