Android - New phone or tv box - check for backdoor stealing your data

TEST YOUR ANDROID PHONE OR TV BOX.

The app in the link below says my cheap Chinese tv boxes are infected with a backdoor data stealer that is integrated into the system files., though it does not give a way to remove the infection.

I will not be using my credit cards or paypal on android devices after finding this out.

Is this app legit? is the infection warning real?

If the malware is in the ROM along with the device boot system, you can't get rid of it that easily.

It's best to drop the device, or use another device for purchases to your account.

 

I just started using this free no root firewall, It shows where in the world your apps are communicating with, It allows you to block the specific country's only like China or Russia, It shows how much data has been sent and revived by any app, when it is awake or in sleep mode.
