They share links like “Download WhatsApp Pro” or “YouTube Plus with premium features.”
The sites look legit - with fake reviews, download counters, and professional designs.
Once installed, the spyware asks to become your default SMS app, giving it full access to your private data.

Never sideload APKs from Telegram or unknown sources.
Download only from Google Play Store.
