Skygofree Trojan, or why should Android owners be scared (again)

Ah, old love. It never fades and it always comes back. Just like this Trojan. Skygofree’s an old piece of malware, hailing back from the go… well, old days of 2014. Lately it made a return, seemingly going back to its old tricks; it can read all the traffic on your phone and even record your calls via a microphone. This Trojan is particulary difficult to remove, as upon installing itself on a phone it automatically grants itself access to everything on the device. Even hard reset may not be enough to get rid of it. Your best bet is to simply avoid any suspicious content (no, you will not win $100k bucks anyway, and no, your Internet will not be faster after downloading that app). Also be careful not to enter any ads. Preferably just stick to Play Store for all your downloading needs.
