A malware that steals Facebook account credentials, known as "Schoolyard Bully", has infected over 300,000 android devices, prompting the Nigerian Communications Commission's Computer Security Incident Response Team (NCC-CSIRT) to issue an advisory reminding user to only download applications from official sites and application stores.
Director, Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka in a press statement available to ITREALMS quoted NCC-CSIRT advisory in this regard as further recommending that users double-check each application and uncheck boxes that request extra third-party downloads when installing apps downloaded from the Google Play Store and to use anti-malware applications to routinely scan their devices for malware.
