Hackers have invented a new way to cheat Android users. They make them think that the smartphone is turned off, but in fact, the device is hacked by criminals and steals their bank information.

The fact is that hackers remotely reduce the brightness of the victim’s screen to a minimum. They also disable all notifications so that the user does not suspect anything. Hackers use malware called Octo. Although the phone appears to be turned off, the attackers do whatever they want with the phone.

According to cybersecurity experts, hackers can enter, copy and modify any data as if they were holding a smartphone in their hands. They can calculate your PIN and passwords.

To avoid danger, you should only install programs from trusted developers.
