Malicious coronavirus-related mobile apps are on the rise. They might look like apps for collecting donations or offering special virus-related information, but these apps distribute malware and steal personal or financial data.

Be careful! Be informed

Before downloading any mobile application, do your due diligence. Research:

• The application developer
• Application reviews
• Number of download
• The publish date
• Updates
