Any security experts here? Really I need some serious help...
I don't dare use this device, because It doesn't appear to be a safe device, but have to. And I have no idea what to do.
Malwarebytes and Avast mobile scan solutions aren't showing any issues but I want to know that this rom clean or not and that I will be able to install a stock android system on this device- go to XDA and look for the phone page - a very good chance there will be a page dedicated to it with custom roms and development.face_melter
- that's where I started :)sted
- and found nothing... :(sted
- It looks like your usual cheap-as-hell Chinese trap phone. The rom is probably ok, just customised. But why do you *have* to use it?face_melter
- bought it for travel, so I don't have to take with me my regular phone. I had no problems with it, but yesterday received a phishing sms and began to worry :(sted
- wouldn't that just mean the # is out there? Prepaid phones I"ve had recycle numbers so often you get strange calls/textsformed
- Yeah, having odd txt messages won't do anything unless you tap a link or open an attachment.face_melter
- Yeah I know, but the thing is that I have this number for 8 years and never received any of these messages. Got some help to uninstall and filter some crap.sted
- But as it was pointed out on xda these phones have built-in spyware, and closed kernel so it's almost impossible to tell what's going on, or revert it to stock.sted
