The National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) has issued an advisory about hackers targeting Pakistani officials through compromised Android apps.
These malicious apps, available on the Google Play Store, aim to collect sensitive personal and financial data from users' mobile devices.
CERT advises users to uninstall suspicious apps and take proactive measures such as verifying app developers' identity and reviewing app permissions.
Additional security measures like strong passwords, multifactor authentication, and data backup are recommended to reduce the impact of a compromise.
