A new malware threat called Sturnus has been discovered that can put millions of Android users at risk. The bug, which affects Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices, allows hackers to read private chats, steal login credentials, and grant them full remote control over the device. Users are advised to be cautious when using WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal on their Android phones and stick to apps from the official Google Play Store. To minimize the risk, users should avoid sideloading software, read app reviews before installing new apps, and never add an app if it’s been sent via a link or social media.
