Bad guys have figured out ways to pack malware into the wrapper that apps are wrapped in such that when you download a perfectly innocent app, you get the malware with it. There is a fix, though, so all is not lost. This is just another episode in the ongoing battle between hackers and the rest of us, so do your part to protect yourself and upgrade your android phone or tablet every time a new fix comes out. Same is true for Apple products on a regular basis, so you iPhone folks should take the same advice. 

At 111 Web Studio, we try to stay vigilant and remind you of these exploits as they come up, but if you use any software from Windows to Mac to WordPress, Drupal or others, be sure to check regularly for security updates and perform them quickly. You are the first line of defense in your personal internet security and privacy.

If you have any questions about this issue, getting found on search engines, custom online software or the latest trends in web design, give us a call at 877.397.7605 or contact us for more information.
