Fake Instagram assistance apps found on Google Play are stealing passwords

Malwarebytes already detects the malicious apps as Android/Trojan.Spy.FakeInsta. These fake Instagram assistance apps are targeting Iranian users. Be sure to use strong passwords, which means long passwords dont easily guessable information. In addition, avoid using the Insta Messages function for communicating confidential, important information, because it has no end-to-end encryption option whatsoever. In these cases, picking a highly-rated and installed app isn’t much help to be safe.”]
