Phone apps
Tech news headlines have been filled in recent weeks with ominous warnings about data breaches, sketchy phone apps threatening to steal private information on your phone, hackers on a rampage, and the like, and things will no doubt only heat up from here the deeper we get into 2021.

In recent weeks, we also reported about an app called SHAREit, which lets you share files with other users who have the same app on their phone. Despite being named as one of the most downloaded apps in 2019, a report from the security firm Trend Micro found unpatched security bugs in the app that apparently went unfixed for a few months, which the researchers said means that the Android version of the app could be used to hijack phones as well as to steal personal data.
