4 apps a cybersecurity professional would NEVER download

4 apps that a cybersecurity professional would NEVER download on their phone. First of all, free VPNs. So the line kind of writes itself, you become the actual product. So a lot of them make money by logging in and selling the exact traffic that they promise to protect. So it's the opposite of what you actually want. Next is third party keyboard apps. So a keyboard sees everything you actually type, passwords, card numbers, private messages, handing that to some free cool font and emoji keyboard from a developer that you've never heard of is potentially leading to installing a potential keylogger. Thirdly, then is cleaner apps. So we've probably all seen them, they prey on the fear of having a slow phone and they demand huge permissions and are often actually malware or adware themselves. And ultimately they say that they're going to clean up your phone and make it faster, but a lot of these are actually malicious. And finally, any app from third party app stores. You always want to stick to the app stores that are authorized and known, and especially on things like Android where they're not often always verified, you could easily be installing an app that contains malware.
