SAMSUNG’S smartphone security chief has warned users of the worst possible mistake they can make that puts their devices and data at risk.
Dubious apps are a gateway for hackers to delve into your device no matter what brand or make, so it’s important to think twice about where you download it from.
Dr Seungwon Shin, EVP and Head of the Security Team at Samsung, told The Sun where people tend to go wrong.
“The worst mistake the user could ever make is that they download applications from a store that is not trustworthy and then give unnecessary permissions to those applications,” he said.
The security expert recommends that people only download apps from reputable stores such as the Galaxy Store or Google Play Store.
