Scammers make old people install malicious app designed to steal user data and obviously much more. It’s a trick as old as the Internet itself but it’s much more devastating when literally almost every aspect of your life is at stake.
I’m very happy my 12y old kid can’t just sideload shit nilly willy. He legit Googles minecraft hacks and downloads random apks and stuff if he gets the chance)
(his phone is also fully locked down with parental because a 12y old should have free reign on the internet, but that’s beside the point)
