Hackers Found A New Way Into Your Android Phone, And It Starts With One App Download

A new Android malware called Perseus has been discovered, and it is capable of stealing sensitive data from smartphones. From bank OTPs and passwords to financial information, this malware can access a wide range of personal details stored on a device. In some cases, it can even take complete control of the phone.  Here is everything you need to know about how Perseus works and what you can do to stay safe. What Can the Perseus Malware Do To Your Phone? Perseus is based on two older malware variants, Cerberus and Phoenix, but is considered more dangerous than its predecessors. Cyber hackers can use it to specifically target any mobile user and gain access to their data without much difficulty. The malware can take real-time screenshots, simulate taps on the screen, and open apps on the infected device. It can also activate a black screen overlay, which prevents users from seeing anything on their phone.  While most malware focuses on stealing login credentials, Perseus goes a step further. It can also copy content from notes apps, giving it access to personal information that users typically do not consider at risk. Perseus can steal data from several note-taking apps, including Google Keep, Xiaomi Notes, Samsung Notes, ColorNote, Notepad Notes, and Evernote - Note Organiser. It scans the content of these apps quietly, without the user's knowledge. How Can You Protect Your Phone From Perseus? The primary way Perseus is spreading is through apps that present themselves as IPTV services. These apps are not available on the Google Play Store and are installed through third-party sources, which makes them harder to detect. To stay protected, avoid downloading apps from outside official app stores. Stick to platforms like the Google Play Store for all your app downloads.  It is also important to keep your smartphone's operating system updated at all times, as updates often include security patches that help guard against threats like Perseus.

IPL 2026 Injury Updates: Royal Challengers Bengaluru & Kolkata Knight Riders Might Face Early Selection Crisis

Royal Challengers Bengaluru may start their title defence without Josh Hazlewood. The Australian fast bowler remains sidelined, having not featured in competitive cricket since November. After missing both the 2025-26 Ashes and the recent T20 World Cup, Cricket Australia has yet to grant him the necessary clearance for the upcoming season. Adding to the concerns for the champions, social media reports suggest Nuwan Thushara might also be denied a No Objection Certificate by Sri Lanka Cricket. Kolkata Knight Riders Braced for Significant Personnel Losses Kolkata Knight Riders appear to be the most affected side as the tournament approaches. Matheesha Pathirana, secured for 18 crore at the auction, is currently without SLC clearance. The pacer is recovering from a leg muscle injury sustained during the T20 World Cup, with no firm date set for his return. Furthermore, domestic spearhead Harshit Rana is expected to miss the entire campaign. Rana underwent surgery on his right knee on 9 February following an injury in a warm-up fixture. Lucknow Super Giants Await Fitness Clarity Lucknow Super Giants face uncertainty regarding several key bowlers. Mohsin Khan has been out of action since late 2024 following knee surgery last July. While Mayank Yadav recently featured for India A, his participation remains unconfirmed given his previous fitness record. Additionally, Wanindu Hasaranga is recovering from a hamstring tear picked up during the T20 World Cup, with Danuska Aravinda reporting no official update from the franchise or the Sri Lankan board regarding his availability. Sunrisers Hyderabad Captaincy and Pace Concerns Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins is a major doubt for the season. Much like Hazlewood, Cummins has seen very little action over the last eight months and is awaiting clearance from Cricket Australia. The franchise also faces a sweat over Eshan Malinga, who is recovering from a shoulder dislocation suffered in early February. Both players were notable absentees during the T20 World Cup. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians Squad Adjustments Chennai Super Kings CEO has confirmed that Australian specialist Nathan Ellis is officially ruled out of IPL 2026. Ellis suffered a hamstring injury during a training session and will not recover in time for the tournament. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians are searching for a replacement for Atharva Ankolekar, who has also been ruled out of the competition.

Spider-Man Ditched Sony's Phone For Galaxy Z Flip 7: Here's Why That's A Big Deal

Spider-Man has long been one of the most beloved superheroes across generations, and the franchise has only grown more popular with Tom Holland's recent run in the role. However, something in the upcoming film has caught the attention of fans and tech observers alike.  In the trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Peter Parker is spotted using a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, which is a noticeable departure from the Sony Xperia devices the character has been associated with across multiple films. Why Is Spider-Man Using A Samsung Phone Instead Of A Sony? The connection between Spider-Man and Sony Xperia phones has never been accidental. Sony owns the rights to the character, and as Android Authority noted, that ownership has historically made Xperia placements in the films a natural fit. So seeing Peter Parker flip open a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 in the new trailer stands out. In the scene, Parker casually places the phone display-side down on a rusty beam, which has already triggered reactions from tech enthusiasts who cringed at the thought of scratches on the screen.  He is also seen scrolling through Instagram Reels, which happen to feature MJ, before snapping the phone shut and leaping off the beam. The moment quickly spread across Reddit, with users debating both the phone choice and Peter's financial decisions. The character is portrayed as someone who is short on money and moves into a lower-end New York City apartment in the film, making a phone priced at over $1,000 an odd purchase for him. Has Samsung Used The Galaxy Z Flip 7 For Product Placements Before? This is not the first time Samsung has pushed the Galaxy Z Flip 7 into the public eye. The company provided what it called the "Galaxy Z Flip 7 Olympic Edition" to nearly 3,800 athletes during the Olympic Village stay.  Athletes also received a separate device for podium selfies, referred to as the "Victory Selfie." Whether Sony approved the switch or Samsung simply paid for the placement, the quiet brand shift has not gone unnoticed.
