Tizi, new Android virus that used to steal data from popular messenger apps

As is often the case with Android viruses, Tizi spread by infecting popular Google store apps. If you wonder why the past tense, it is because the virus has already been contained, or so does Android claim. Tizi’s immoral activities concentrated on infecting the more popular messenger apps like Facebook and Twitter and scanning them for any personal data available. That is not all it did, though; it could also scan our calendar and GPS, as well as record our voice chats! Versatile little basterd…

Android believes that Tizi was using vulnerabilities in older, pre 7.0 Nougat, Android operating systems. What is the moral of this story? Update your OS, or you will be sorry.

Unless you are iPhone owners, in which case the moral is probably different ;p.
