It's seems like I've been hacked cos all these listed above is currently happening to me.

However, I'm not in the least bothered or fidgeting on reading this post because practically I've zero naira in my account balance. Can't even remember when last I went to my bank or transcated with them.

What about my crypto?
My Binance app is just there occupying space and no coin bought, no coin sold. Absolutely nothing.

Yesterday I downloaded Trust wallet just so I could benefit from the airdrops I saw on Reddit. If the airdrops doesn't amount to anything worthwhile, I'd sell off my phone on or before 20th December just so I could afford to give myself nice treat this Xmas season.

Okay na.

There are some phones that the virus will attack and revert back to the hackers saying "no hope here" cos of the level of brokage in the country.

However the topic is a click bait. The post doesn't state how your account is attacked if you answer a simple phone call.

They focused more on SMS.

Still it requires the victim to click on it before anything happens.

Howbeit, be security conscious out there guys.
Our fault for expecting a sensible piece after the nonsensical thread
subject. Op just used unnecessary grammar to say rubbish

Highly unlikely to have a malware attack just by receiving a call, what you should avoid is untrusted links and apps

Android's open-source nature makes it always vulnerable, whether it's the latest version or not.

How about this is just a hoax to promote iOS by continuously stressing that the malware targets only android users. Knox on Samsung devices is very protective so I don't understand the emphasis on Androids

Simple as ABC, insert your sim card linked to your banks on a small phone and insert a call number or alternative number on your browsing phone. An average Nigerian is using at least two handsets,

Conflicting report. It said infection through calls the headline but addressed smishing through SMS.
