- Google to find official websites because you can find phishing sites.
- Don't search on Google Play or iOS store to find applications.
- Don't click on links that are sent by anyone to install any application.
Google has one of the most notoriously slipshod app approval process, this make it app store most dangerous and anyone trending on it should trend with cautions. I attributed many mistakes to our inability to distinguish between fake and original. Here are some tips:
Check app developer: The name of the developer should be correct in spelling.
Ensure to disable app installation from unknown sources.
Check app permissions: you must be smart with this, dubious permissions are on app store.
Always read reviews of others.
I guess we always end up googling a lot of things on the internet and we cannot really avoid it.
I think we just need to be aware of the website we are going to visit most of the time when you google a website the first one that is going to appear is the legit one and you can easily tell most of the time when something is wrong about it. But for sure you are going to have doubts if you don't know or its your first time visiting the website.
