The Union Home Ministry has issued an alert warning mobile phone users against downloading certain mobile apps. These apps, namely Top Gun (game app), Mpjunkie (music app), Bdjunkie (video app) and Talking Frog (entertainment app), are malware sent by Pakistan to steal vital data from users' phones.
According to an ABP report, the ministry said there are high chances of cyber fraud because of such apps when mobile banking is used on smartphones.
The government in May this year issued a similar alert when it said that Pakistan’s security agency Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, is spying on Indian security forces using malwares through mobile gaming and music applications such as Top Gun and Talking Frog.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
