When I first saw this I thought it was going to be able facial recognition - a trojan that steals your face data used to log into a phone. That would be really interesting, I wonder what the implications of stealing someone's facial structure like that could be.

A lot of biometric logins like that do not use 2D. They use IR. Last year there was a new Windows 10 exploit that abuses the Windows Hello function with a USB stick that stores a heatmap facial photo pretending to be your webcam. So you can use a static image to trick the OS into logging in. But not with any old photo. Look up Windows Hello USB Facial Recognition Exploit.

That's just stupid. Yeah, everyone knows how shitty Facebook is when it comes to your data. But a hacker like this can cause some damage. Some people are really gullible. Get into a kids account and message his granny asking her to send you some money. That's just one thing that can happen. The bigger your network on Facebook is, the more serious the damage can potentially be. The best counter to that is to not use Facebook or at the very least try to keep your network small and usage brief. But there's still a ton of people who overshare on there and have many contacts that can be exploioted by a hacker.

Certain family members don't care about phone security so at the very least this helps them not to keep the bad apps on their phone. Then at least I get to have a conversation with them and show them how bad it is just to willy nilly install anything. Trying to get them to understand fdroid or any other app store is difficult. But it's a work on progress.

Things I look out for When Installing an App: 1. Downloads: If the app doesn't have at least 2.5-5k Downloads that's an instant nono for me (Filters out all the new Apps) 2. Preview Screenshots: If the Preview Screenshots look skechty, that's an instant nono. 3. Reviews: How many reviews there are, How they Rated and what's their Review Description. Sometimes I even look at the first 15-20 Accounts that Reviewed to see if the Name or the Profile Picture looks bad. Also Look if the Developer actually answers to the Reviews and if, if its the same message every time or not (not that important just look if they even answered at all) And 4. The Whole Picture together: If the App looks mostly organic with a few thousand Downloads and decent Preview Picture's, i think you'll be fine.

Also look at where the App is from, by looking at the Developers contact location. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean the country of which the app is from or where the dev/company is at- ie) many apps such as TikTok having their developer location posted as Singapore when in fact it's from China. The Play Store doesn't disclose or offer a way to inform users where apps are from, so you in fact are given no guarantee or idea of clearly how your information will be dealt with the developers, really unfortunately.

I wish there was a Play Store alternative that also has paid apps/in-app-purchases. I like supporting apps I like/that have a very fair premium upgrade and in-app-purchases make that more convenient/ possible.

Damn I knew someone that paid for a subscription to some antivirus on their phone. It did nothing of use apart from delete duplicate content or slow down the phone when "scanning" which doesn't seem like that's what it's doing. I even tested by making a simple rat APK and pushed it to his device it wasn't detected 😂

I switched to iOS for work, but still can't get with this complete lack of customisation. How do they not have a way better launcher or app library? I want to be able to find apps easily, not have them constantly rearranged and put into folders that I have to check one by one, until I find the lesser used app I need. Otherwise I'd be happy with this damn thing, especially since I didn't have to pay for it

The Play store is worse than a rundown convenience store, it's a street market; sellers there pay their taxes to varying extents, but they don't really answer to any authority unless they attract the spotlight; you never know who's out to hurt you for profit or entertainment.
