Finding the source and researching the root of news behind 40 Million Android users whose privacy is at risk. This is an alert message for the android smartphone and tablet owner which have been placed on the high alert for draining the bank account, the involvement found on the app.

The android users are pretty accustomed to warnings from security researchers even google can take the best effort to check the application involvement in ransomware or any other into the Play Store. 

After the report of the researcher which has a large audience and many android users are evolved in this called SnapTube. This app is basically used to download videos from youtube and Facebook. It was also mentioned that this app is downloaded more than 40 Millions times

This app is totally free to download but it can cost you more than that.

According to the new report of Upstream Systems that the user of a snap tube installed on their smartphone could find himself paying deadly. That is the simple download app quietly signs up users for the premium services without their knowledge.

The above practice is known as “freeware” which means the developer abused the ability for the apps to begin charging users a subscription fee after a trial to test the service.

Google allows third-party developers to charge the credit and debit card which can be saved with your google accounts for some of the most popular services like NetFlix.

The vast majority of users usually uninstall an app when they are not interested or remove the subscription. You might forget that you have even signed up for the trial subscription for the applications and you don’t remove that part and instead remove the application from your phone. When you download a snap tube then it is asking for a premium package and you just go and fill all the details for trial and download the video and after that uninstall the application.

It was estimated that a total of $100 Million has been earned by the snap tube through this fraud method.

When this issue comes to light then the developer of the snap tube said that we are unaware of this issue and they will fix this as soon as possible. And they claim that unwanted charges have been deducted by the third party application.

If you have downloaded the snap tube and see some unusual changes with you account then delete the application and be safe from fraud

According to the source, an Australian football fan site has been under threat and it was found that around 70 million records have been leaked. It was also mentioned that the data leaked included personal details and racist private messages, via unprotected elastic search.

While investigating the data leak we found it was around 132 GB data which is linked with Bigfooty.com, a website and mobile application mainly made for the Aussie Rules Football where around 100,000 members joined in that.

Although going deep in investigating, a Security officer found that the data leaked not only contain personal information. Some of them are anonymous users and some people private messages seen by the security officer which contain email addresses, passwords, and usernames for the site and the live streams

If the cyber attacker has known your data from the database they may have got useful credential stuffing to attack the other sites.

Finding the whole user messages it contains personal threats and racist content, which could be used for the cyber attacker to blackmail that user.

The security officer said” The private messages are fully exposed and it was leaked and you can’t trace back to the specific users. The leak data contains high-profile users like an Australian police officer and government employees “

The private information that belongs to the individuals may include the chat and email address that was enough for the cyber attacker to blackmail and damage the reputation of high profile or even normal users also.

When we talk about the technical term it was also mentioned that the site includes the IP address, Server and OS information, GPS data, and access logs that may allow hackers to compromise the part of IT infrastructure.

The leak was closed by the Australian Cybersecurity center after a short period of time and BigFooty didn’t respond after that.

The security office has seen more accidents and leaks at two popular money-saving websites and perhaps most time it happens with the adult live streaming site.
