it Was in 2014 that the Ghost Push began to make his victims. This trojan came to infect more than 600 thousand devices per day, and a simple way could compromise the devices.
But, even after two years, the Ghost Push still has an expression very high, and can attack more than half of the Android devices that are in use.
The alert comes at a time that, even with the arrival of two new versions of Android in the last few years, many of the devices still use older versions of Android and that can easily be infected with the Ghost Push.
After this initial step of infection, given by the user, the possibilities that the Ghost Push has are numerous. The most certain is that you begin to serve advertising are not desired, than to steal data or, simply, install applications you do not want.
The source of infection the most common of this trojan are the applications that changed and that contain. Of course, that the source of these applications are shops not official, and even direct links that provide users with these same applications.
The problem of the Ghost Push is greater than expected, as if has seen. The same having been fixed on Android and it does not affect the more recent versions of this operating system, earlier versions are exposed to the problem.
Knowing the distribution of versions of Android by the equipment, according to data from Google, this means that about half of the devices are vulnerable and exposed to the Ghost Push.
With the Ghost Push to gain space, and again a high activity, the ideal is to avoid the app stores that are not on the control of Google and avoid installing applications from unknown sources.
