NEW YORK: Security researcher AVG has just revealed a new virus. This one works a little more strangely than many others.
You might shut down your Android device without a second thought, and the hackers who built this malware are looking to take advantage of that.
The latest malware, dubbed Android/ Power Off Hijack.A, makes your phone’s screen appear as if it’s shutting off. In actuality, your phone is still on.
AVG has revealed that the virus only affects devices running Android 5.0 and below.
