Check your phone now: Meta (formerly Facebook) security researchers announced yesterday (Friday) that in the past year they found more than 400 malicious apps in Google's Play Store and Apple's App Store, putting more than a million users at risk.
According to the company, the applications were developed with the aim of stealing the login details of the users' Facebook accounts, posing as legitimate applications such as photo editors, camera applications, VPN services, horoscope updates, a flashlight application, games and a fitness tracking application.
More than 400 malicious apps have been detected.

The exposed apps did not have full functionality, Meta says.
When opening the application for the first time, the user encounters a login window for his Facebook profile - which apparently refers to a page impersonating the social network.
It should also be noted that the vast majority of the malicious apps detected were for the Android operating system.
In addition, Meta states that in order to eliminate negative reviews from people who recognized the nature of the malicious apps, the developers published fake reviews.
"We shared our findings with industry colleagues and security researchers to help us improve our collective defenses against this threat. Most importantly, because these apps were accessible in third-party app stores, we encourage people to be cautious when downloading a new app that asks for social network login credentials ", added in Meta.
Before the publication, Meta contacted Google and Apple, who removed these applications from the stores, and at the same time sent notifications to users whose account details were identified, with a recommendation to change their password.
