Speaking about the risks of such applications, he said although it is hard to predict how this data will be used in the future, one way of using the private data could be for virtual theft.
"It’s clear that this app is stealing data. You should remember that it can take all kinds of data,” he said, urging users to avoid downloading such apps.
