Information Security Awareness: Look Carefully at What You Download
Posted:
Fake Netflix App is actually ransomware. Thats right. Criminals know that you like Netflix. They know a lot of people would probably like to get Netflix without paying for it. An app is out that purports to let you gain free access to Netflix. When you download that app, it locks your files using malware to encrypt them. If you dont pay the ransom (in Bitcoin), you dont get your access back. Always watch what you install on your mobile devices and your IoT devices at home (e.g., Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick).
