In my opinion, it is the responsibility of IT giants to catch hackers and prevent the downloading and installation of fraudulent applications. However, they again limit their responsibility to reporting about hackers or scams to the local
#CybersecurityPolice in rare instances, which is the very least they can do and which is still not enough to combat scammers and their applications and services!
Although, they could hire a group of mediocre IT specialists and pay them only to remove all the rogue apps and services one by one, which also seems to be the most difficult task for IT giants.
They also claim that since there are too many frauds/scams, they are unable to stop them all, and as such, it is the responsibility of users to keep their personal information private and secure.
I really wish they would hire at least ten IT specialists whose main job from 9:00 am and 5:00 pm would be to go through all the available apps one by one to identify scams and remove all of them. This is the least they can do!
Did you know that in addition to my main job, I had to do this task every day, verifying/checking everything one by one while working on computer or on the internet! How many of you do this?
For example, on my
#Facebook business account, I had to remove bots, false accounts, inappropriate photos, scammer accounts and clone accounts manually one by one. Do you know how many of them there were? Over 1,000 accounts! Just think of how much time I had to devote to that! Could I get rid of them? Nope! Facebook is one of the leader in the IT business! Such a shame!
Furthermore, in my opinion, Microsoft and Apple bear full responsibility for viruses. If they cannot protect our accounts from viruses, then their product is weak, right?
"And finally, adhere to these non-negotiable safety habits to protect yourself from the billions in losses and millions of fraudulent apps we discussed:
The "Official Store" Rule: Never "Sideload": Avoid downloading apps from third-party websites or links sent via SMS. On Android, keep "Install Unknown Apps" disabled in your settings. Check the "Big Three": Before hitting download, verify the Developer Name (must be the official company), the Release Date (be wary of brand-new apps claiming millions of users), and the Privacy Label (it shouldn't need your "Contacts" to be a "Wallpaper" app).Financial Guardrails Use Virtual Cards: For app subscriptions, use a service like Privacy.com or your bank’s virtual card feature. This lets you set a spending limit or "kill" the card if you find yourself stuck in a "fleeceware" subscription trap. Biometric Confirmation: Enable Face ID or Fingerprint for all purchases. This prevents "one-tap" accidental subscriptions that scammers hide behind fake "Close" buttons.Privacy & Permission Hygiene The "Least Privilege" Principle: If an app asks for permission it doesn't need (e.g., a calculator asking for microphone or location access), deny it and delete the app. Audit Regularly: Once a month, go to Settings > Privacy and see which apps have "always on" access to your location or camera.Technical Protections Automatic Updates: Security patches are often released specifically to "kill" malware that has found a loophole. Set your OS and apps to auto-update. DNS Filtering: Use a secure DNS like NextDNS or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1). These can block known "command and control" domains that scam apps use to send your data to hackers.The "Too Good To Be True" Test: Crypto/Investment Red Flags: Any app promising "guaranteed returns" or asking you to "transfer tax" before withdrawing your profits is a pig butchering scam. No legitimate app works this way."
Again, this doesn't help at all! These days, people have sufficient digital literacy. They took all recommendations of IT giants and protected their accounts.
And despite that, they are still vulnerable to hacker attacks and viruses, and are easily accessible to scammers, malware/viruses, and hackers!
