Now we all are aware about malwares or viruses that steal our personal data via some unknown apps or files when we download them. Many times this happens and we remain oblivious about the data that have been leaked.
If we download any app in your phone, we do not know what it will do to the phone or what data will it take. One such virus is the one that comes into your phone after an app is installed and then leaks all your personal information. People behind creating such viruses and apps are surprised when they come to know about security researchers detecting these viruses and ultimatly finding a way to remove them forever.
However these malwares are getting more and more sophisticated to avoid detection, as now a new type of malware apps are being discovered by security researchers at Trend Micro, which if you belive, get activated only during movement.
The name of these virus apps are called “CurrencyConverter" and “BatterySaverMobi". Both of these apps work when you go out somewhere with your phone or keep it anywhere else. But the question arises here as how it senses you while walking? If this motion sensor takes information from a person's phone when it is installed in the person's phone by catching security informations, then is it able to get all security information easily via the motion sensor app itself?
If the apps do not catch motion then they will work just like normal apps. But if they detect motion, then Anubis Trojan virus will come into your phone. After this it works to leak your secret data - your screenshots, passwords, login everything. This virus can also record the phone's audio, while also making calls and sending SMS to infect other devices from the contact list of the victim.
So before you are hit, remove BatterySaverMobi and CurrencyConverter apps instantly if you are uisng the same!
