From browsing social media and online shopping to paying bills or simply just staying connected, mobile devices are a central part of our lives. It’s no wonder that hackers and scammers have made them a prime target.

Being aware of the latest scams is an important step in staying safe online, and according to McAfee’s latest Consumer Mobile Threat Report, something to look out for in 2023 is malicious apps.

As a first line of defence, it’s key to review any apps you wish to download with a critical eye – look for typos and poor grammar in the app description, read the app reviews and check whether the developer has published other apps that have been well reviewed, too. But efforts shouldn’t stop here. Using dedicated online protection software will put you in a much safer place. McAfee, global leader in online protection, recently launched McAfee+ in the UK, a new product line providing all-in-one protection for you and your family’s privacy, identity and devices.
