Your WhatsApp data can be stolen with these apps 

Many might think that WhatsApp is one of the safest apps present on their smartphones, however, a new malware has been spotted and flagged on Google Play Store which can reportedly give hackers access to your phone’s data including the data from apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook and more. Online hack and cyber security have become two of the most talked about topics in the online world and the fact that even WhatsApp, which comes with security features such as end-to-end encryption isn't safe from prying eyes, is a little bit disturbing.

For the unknown, malware is a software which is specifically developed to cause damage and steal data from a computer, server, computer network or a client. 'ANDROIDOS_MOBSTSPY' is the name of the malware which has been discovered by security researchers at Trend Micro. The report says that there are as many as six such apps which come with this malware and have been downloaded over 100,000 times from Google Play Store.
