In order to remain safe from Trojans and other malware, Kaspersky researchers have recommended the public to implement the following steps:

"A good choice is to create additional email accounts and buy additional SIM cards for online shopping and other situations that require you to share data with strangers," wrote the global cybersecurity company.

In addition, they mentioned that it would be safer if you downloaded the app only from official stores such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, or Amazon Appstore.

"The app from this market is not 100 percent safe from failure, but at least the app is checked by store representatives and there is a screening system not all apps can enter this store," he added.

Don't forget to update the operating system and apps, because it's very important. According to Kaspersky, there are many security issues that can be solved by installing the latest version of the software.
