From 226 applications the credential theft list targets all social media applications such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and popular chat applications Telegram and whatsapp. This will be very dangerous, because almost everyone uses the application. Not only that, Google play and Gmail are very crucial targets because they contain very important information.

Malware like this can appear anywhere such as making unauthorized downloads and on phishing websites. Advertisements that appear on their own when visiting a page are also a source of malware.

WhatsApp because some think that since "it's encrypted" they can send whatever sensitive info.
Not only a few people, but the majority of WhatsApp users already believe that this application is encrypted and cannot be hacked easily. but when I read this article about "Alien" malware, how vulnerable are all the applications I use. Maintaining security is very important and the most important also is not to download and install unknown applications. give more protection on the device the better.
