- Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time with me talking about your computer safety once again. With Android being the largest platform in the world it's a shame some of the signing keys have been leaked. Signing keys allow malware to stay hidden and installed on software without a passing glance. Why is this a bad thing? Let's find out! Thanks for watching!

androids were never "safe" i reckon, it was always the responsibility of the user to take care of their androids
@DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE your right spammer, we shouldn't
Thats not true
Even if Apple isn’t immune to their own hacks, HEAR ME OUT not a shill but I feel more safe with iPhones. Here we go before the fanboys get mad over this tbh.
@@RealJoseph123 as an android user i understand u.
It was. I heavily manage my apps and programs. Turn off ones I don't use and limit ones I rarely look at. That's why I prefer android, its my fault if I'm a dumbass
My phone had a lot of self esteem problems. Telling me it's insecure isn't surprising.

Not as bad as Apple telling you "Privacy, that's iPhone" and still see your data or even sell it.
"We respect your privacy. That's why we only steal your data in secret."
@@DrSpooglemon "if you don't see it, its not there"
So does every company, I mean at this point you were always a commodity regarldless.
@@Lilimith got a point
@@Lilimith that is not a defense, thats deflection
I have personally seen many, and I mean many hacked/stolen files taken from both Apple devices and Android devices. The idea that one has better security than the other is ridiculous to me. At the end of the day, it all comes down to how you personally manage your own data because if you rely on any of these companies to secure your data they will fail you many times over.
100 %
People just pretend.
Yes andriod is open but.
That doesn't mean apple is closed.
Remember when the whole data base of apple cloud was leaked and the pics of top tier celebs were leaked.
Yes that was apple.
Exactly. Also phones are so much harder to hack then computers if someone goes to the point of completely compromising their phone they shouldn't even be allowed near a computer
Sooner or later we gonna have “Your life isn’t safe from viruses anymore…” video from Muta. And what’s scary is that we won’t be surprised.

Damn, that's crazy
* keeps scrolling on an android phone *
*Sameee,* idk how to feel right now. Should I feel worry or meh?😂
Honestly, and I say this as an iOS user, don’t worry about it. Maybe keep this in mind when you need to replace your phone but only if you truly think that an iOS will be a better fit for you.
Its really a user issue. Just dont be stupid. Android has technological freedom so its obviously bound to risk. Just use your brain, don't click on shady shit, and you'll be aight.
Same lol meh.
google is watching and tracking tons of data on you, mostly the exact angle your device is, do toggle some settings and or something. but still better than giving apple a cent, their factory workers going off in china right now too btw unrelated but still.
"A little more malware resistant because they're fisher price phones" had me rolling
I think most Android users (at least a higher percentage than Apple users) understand these things. I just don't think many Android users are claiming things that aren't true in regards to security, like that I hear many iPhone users do. I'm sure there's a few, just nowhere near as many
Yeah no shit. A lot of us understand that no phone or OS is 100% safe and are capable of comprehensive thought.
This video is strictly for morons that didn't quite get the memo and believe all systems are infallible machines that are impenetrable fortresses.
@@AmaryInkawult the problem is attracting said morons to informative videos and having them actually pay attention to it hahaha
@@sfirlaki damn right lol
my sister is 100% convinced that apple devices can't get viruses...
I think the reason Android is worse at security is because you can pretty much do anything to it, for example putting your own start up to something like the Shrek theme
If you can unlock the bootloader...
Well then that's just the user's fault
Eh no. Pretty much can do anything with Linux. Freedom does not meant unsafe
And also he was talking about certificate problem bruh
Indeed it's a double edged sword open source means anyone can make an app the downside of that being anyone also includes hackers and scammers
The best security you can have is caution. You can't trust any company to be secure, as a lot of companies don't invest enough into security. As Muta says, do your research with what you are installing. Read reviews, and how many people are using the apps. I generally don't install apps for months or half a year, and I do regular sweeps on trying to teach my mom to be more aware.
Considering how important phones are with online banking and many other important things stored on it... we don't have a secure way to analyze/quarantine malware/viruses compared to PC...
I could have never guessed that if you want the privilege of freedom that comes with Android. you also have the responsibility of your own safety. I'm officially cerflufeld

Muta be careful with that fold. The screen might be peeling off because the battery is swelling. It's a problem that's been happening with MANY Samsung phones going all the way back to the Note 1. Mostly to phones that have been stored away with no charge for a long time.
Yaa mudah read this and says thanks thru me
even though this video can be summed up as "there's a new exploit out but if your not dumb you can avoid it by not downloading sketchy shit." I always appreciate the reminder that I should be careful with what I do online and why.
There's always something new happening in the cybersecurity world☠
Welcome to the age of cyber warfare. Get used to it because it is the new norm. This is the downside of everything being dependent on the internet and your personal data being caught in the middle.
This is nothing new they have been doing this

Great stuff as always. I would love to see you do some videos on Linux phones! Been considering it myself for a while, but I have the impression there are too many trade-offs. Though, I haven't researched it much. Again, would be cool to see you dip into that!
No joke, at 8:28 in the vid when you said “ what if I can’t install the latest version of Android, I got an ad from YT for a Pixel 7 Pro. 😂
At this point, I wouldn't mind flip phones making a comeback.
I literally only use flip phones.
nah, some current 4G ready ones are comming with KaiOS, and by themselves have enough vulnerabilities on its part too.
So the best thing you can do is to just dont store any sensitive data on anything, even login credentials, and just use them for calls.

I love both Android and Apple. You can’t beat Apple’s fluidity and their app exclusivity, but you can’t beat Android’s root and custom ROM scene. I’ll always miss my Pixel Experience and CyanogenMOD days
Cyanogen mod was great for keeping all my extremely cheap android phones useful back in high school

To be fair about the Fold falling apart, it was bound to happen with a folding screen
I guess you can say it's folding apart
It's not supposed to be like that
is it just me or does the battery look expanded? Idk if I'm seeing things, but I see a bloated battery, and it might be a bit dangerous for him to keep it
@@superninjadan1435 I definitely see that too
Idk how people end up with phones like this though - I'm a pretty active guy and I've never had any problems that people go through since I got my first smartphone in 2012 and have used both Apple and Samsung along the way.
I currently have the Samsung Fold 3 he's talking about since August 2021 and it looks good as new with no creasing. His phone screen lifting isn't even where the folding part is, so I don't know how Muta managed to do that, but some people abuse their electronics Ig..?
Android is way better if you like tinkering with stuff, but for some people, the enclosed system is a necessity. I've seen what sht my uncle downloaded, he uses android and he just likes to click on everything he sees. He told me that his phone is doing unusual stuff, if i could look at it. He had somehow gotten pop up adds all over his his home screen so they were covering everything and the phone was incredibly laggy, he got bombarded with notifications for shady sites literally 1-2 times a second and way more stuff he did to it, the touchscreen was unresponsive and it didn't even want to turn off. It was the first time i ever saw anyone (in person) to completely brick their phone like that. (I fixed it in the end, but i was dumbfounded how that happened, he told me that he was clicking on popups on porn sites to see those hot milfs in his neighbourhood xd)
On android, you have to not be dumb with installing stuff, but for some people, no matter what security you give them, they will overcome it to brick their own devices.
The biggest threat to security of a device is the owner.
I do not trust the elderly with android devices whatsoever. I’ve had to unfuck my grandpa’s phone and tablet too many times.
it's the people indeed
Yea the many i see with iphones prob don't check up on things they should, know what a ROM is, to want to fear for sus spyware apps.
I see why apple does what they do for their OS, but no thanks i like making my device mine, i'll grab a used samsung past flagship flash a privacy focused ROM on it, maybe change from nova launcher and have options iOS will "be first" to in like 4 years or so lol
Damn, your uncle was in it for those hot local MILFs. Who can blame him?
I got a fold 3 in July as a birthday gift to myself and i love it. Amazing for reading manga and playing games at work when im bored (security guard) so sitting in my car/at some spot for 12 hours gets very boring very quick. No issues with build quality so far so lets hope nothing bad happens from whats happened to you.
If it's fold 3 it should be under warranty. Either his battery expanded because he left it in the box for way too long (current Samsung issue, if you don't use the phone and you just throw it in a box and keep it there for months, battery may expand) or he must have broke it or put it under xtemsive heat, can't imagine how would the glue stop holding together.
W Mans got the same phone love it only thing I hate is it gets uncomfortable to hold when typing causes it's a heavy phone... holding it in a switched L position on my right hand becomes unbearable
Thinking about getting the Fold-4 for my birthday next year 🤔
@@bosnianvibe I still use S20FE. I'll wait for Fold5 or S24 Ultra. Depends on how big of an upgrade it will be.
@@unclesam5733 Agreed I switched from a S21 Ultra to the Fold 3 some regret on switching but to be honest I liked the idea of a tablet phone 😂
The video that I enjoy the most when Muta talks about phones lol.
Apple is like the Chinese Government of Cellphones
_Sure it's safe, but don't forget you still have a leash_
All eggs in one basket. The apple ecosystem is bound to crack, eventually.
Apple still operates how phone manufactures did back in the 2000s. Every single phone had their own UI, their own OS, their own charging port, and their own app store, etc. iPhone came out 2007 and it's probably the smartphone brand that has changed the least, it still has it's own charger, has it's own OS, it's own Appstore, etc. Naturally it's gonna be more secure than an open OS.

Wasn't just over the summer that Samsung had a huge data breach where millions of DLS were stolen?

I pretty much always feel safe despite the regular security breaches because of two things: 1) when I say I have a Kyocera, the regular response is "A what?", and 2) I haven't added a new app to my roster in years. Can't download malware if you don't download in the first place.
Haven't heard the name in years. They still make those?
@@Random_Guy_20xx Yup. They even have a 5G version of their Duraforce line. I have the gen before the 5G model
I‘m seriously considering buying a smartphone from CAT. Drop it in a puddle or onto concrete? No prob. Wash it with hot water and soap? Yes, please.
And as an added benefit, they have extremely limited capabilities, because you‘re paying for the ISO standards, not the hardware. So, essentially just what I need. That would be my very first smartphone ever…
My first cell phone was a Kyocera. Thing was a brick. It all came to an end one day when I was on the phone with my cousin and I dropped it in the toilet while peeing. She gone
@@ArDeeMee Exceptionally based choice.
Fortunately I just set up a new Galaxy like 4 weeks ago and I typically never download new apps during the duration of a phone. I do, always, however try to find a bunch of new apps/functionality whenever I upgrade. I will remember this for next time.
Even with Androids not being as safe, I still prefer it. I've always had iphones and switched to android back in late 2020 (S20 FE) and it's been the best phone decision I've made. I know muta makes the weird complaint of using your phone for candy crush or some other game. But that's the thing, If I'm getting an oil change, at the doctors, or any other place I'm waiting and have downtime, why not bust out my phone and play some mobile games. I specifically got android so I can use emulators. You can use emulators on ios but you have to jump through some hoops to get it to work and allow permissions from some shady sellers and even then after 5 minutes Apple will lock you out of the app. If I get a virus or whatever on my android, it's my own fault but that's also why I like it. It keeps me accountable and to do my due diligence and research everything I can about certain apps. I've gotten more android and ios savvy after making the switch than if I just stayed with ios.
It's really not that difficult to be careful and not buy/download unsafe apps on Android lol
Or to break their phones...Idk how people always have problems with Samsung and Apple phones and breaking them all the time when most people Ik never abuse their electronics like that
Temptation, i already broke 1 phone so i got my lessons atleast
My phones all ways get broken by falling from my pants.
@@rbae I'm clumsy - my screens used to break a lot.
It really isn't yet Apple fan boys think it is.
The issue with build quality was with getting a Fold in the first place.
If you want build quality get a device that is known to have good build quality, rather than just jumping to an Apple device. It's like saying "eh, I don't like video games; I played one called Pillowfight Girls and didn't like it, so I think video game aren't for me"
Maybe try a Nokia XR20, a Blackview phone, or various others.
Been using the fold 3 since launch, no issues with anything, looks good as new. At the end of the day, it depends on the user and how they treat their phone. For example, I open the folded screen slowly to prolong the life span on the inner screen
There should be 3 (or more) cert keys at the highest level of permission. They should come from different teams and never be connect through any network. This would mean that you'd have to pull off a triple (or greater) leak in order to assemble a single cert.
imagine those access codes got layered in a vm on an ios system then slowly by way of the algorithm seeping into each and every server i interacted with
I'm waiting for him to do a "Your smart TV ain't safe anymore"
As if they ever were.
Their not many have gotten those hacked too, yes the iot nature of many things are kinda dumb to key reason i don't want a "smart" TV.
I use my android like a computer anyways. So as long as you have common sense and a minimum baseline of understanding tech you're pretty much good.
I still like do a lot of things manually and (free) so don't mind the extra effort/time i have to spend.

Sheesh that certificate thing, I recently started looking at event viewer (lol) and tried googling a few things from getting spammed with certificate expired(expiring) stuff. I gave up rather fast 😅 I suppose I’ll go back to it I think I concluded it was relatively moot at the time, but really I was just trying to gain some understanding of what it all meant so I could possibly use event viewer to see how programs (and hackers/malware) were possibly interacting with my system.
The funniest part of this whole thing is that when Samsung was asked about this they basically said they’ve known the key was compromised since 2016, but haven’t bothered to change it

How could one make their android phone more safe?
Hey, Muta, What do you think of alternatives to android, such as Graphene OS, CalyxOS, LineageOS and CopperHeadOS, as potential alternatives for power users looking to maintain full control over their devices and userdata/security, after hearing about the whole "Apple Tracks every apple based app on the iPhone" and now this, I could'nt be happier that I ditched my iPhone, and switched back to an android device that is running a de-Googled OS.
What's the most egregious part of this is these keys have been in the wild for YEARS and Samsung didn't care.
I guess I will just continue to not download random apps lmfao
So the simple message that can be taken away is to only install applications and downloads that are trustworthy? Kinda felt like that message could have been a lot more condensed.

I work at phone store and at least three times a day people come in because they’ve downloaded some malware or otherwise malicious software on their device because they think phones are virus & hack proof.
Then they don’t believe me when I tell them their “super speed booster file cleaner supreme” app isn’t actually helping their phone.
I would never have guessed that Android devices are unsafe.
they are similarly safe to iphones, neither os is safe if used improperly.
This in general is why you should always get software from official sources, and why open source is so great from a security standpoint. It's obviously possible but far less likely to get infected because a program is pretending to be something it isn't. Recently moved from IOS to CalyxOS, My impression after moving? Don't use android if you plan to randomly install any apk that comes along on the interwebs™️. As locked down as IOS is, it's also relatively "dumb mistake" proof when compared to android.
Muta, my guy....
this is the trade, ability to freely do anything for the price of safety. If you stick to what you "legally" have you are safe as i been for years
Rich of them to tell us to run the latest version of android when most latest-gen android phones can't even run it. It's like the official solution to issues with Android is to just own the latest Pixel device.
I learned something arlight : I didn't know Lunix had Phones or should I say, a Phone compatible os. But at the same time, I shouldnt be too surprised.
It would be interesting to have a video on that in the future just to see how that works out.
Any phone with moving parts is gonna break easier/faster. I always thought those folds were asking for problems, and on a fast time clock, and don't get me started on slide and flip phones.
I think Android will always be better all that matters with a cellular telephone is how long it stays alive otherwise it's useless

Quit sure that apples chips are much more efficient then snapdragon since like ever and their battery life is a rough fight every yeah but sure buddy
@@KopfdesRiesen The problem with iphones is that repairs and replacements are much more expensive. Important applications also tend to support Android smartphones much longer. for example Whatsapp is still supported on phones running Android 4.1 (released mid 2012) while you need ios 12 (released late 2018) to run whatsapp. Old android phones remain functional for longer even if not being nearly as secure or as performant as old iPhones. (A phone running android 4.1 in 2022 is probably a ticking bomb of malware, but hey you may be able to avoid it by being very careful).
Interesting. Didn't read about this before.
For play store (and other Android app stores) it should be easy to verify (by google) that APK was signed with Samung's keys, but wasn't uploaded by Samsung.
I don't install random APKs from internet, but I was assuming people that do this (some of them might be a bit reckless), don't check that APK was signed by Samsung and is therefore "trustworthy". And the malware doesn't need a system signing key to access some data/resources (or can use some kernel vulnerability to elevate privileges)
I use my phone for specific games, and both have advantages. I don't know what they are for IOS, but for Android, it lets you explore the root files a bit more freely.
Honestly, idc if my phone could explode or whatever just as long as no one can hack it and see my search history I'm fine.

As someone who's a loyal android user,
Fuck.
You should talk about the Libel 5 now that you mentioned it! I never heard of it and seems like a promising phone tbh.
Thanks for the heads-up. I'm downloading today's security patch now and haven't installed anything shady recently so I should be fine.
Currently watching on a android, im shook...
1:08 Not sure if it's completely on the build quality but I'm noticing a fat battery causing the screen to come off. In that case you probably wanna get rid of the battery before shit gets real bad.
It's late at night and the thumbnail and title freaked me tf out for a split second
so, putting it another way, it's like getting keys to a new room in your house and not realising it's a skeleton key and you're not even holding the actual key, someone else is, and you're no longer safe or in control.
It kinda scares me how he goes from silly to serious in an instant
Anymore? Android is owned and operated by Google… nothing on those phones was safe to begin with.
Android is commercially sponsored by Google, but the core components are open source. Don't like them? You're free to make changes, Compile your AOSP build and don't install GApps.
no piece of technology is safe lmao. dont act like its just android.
You can de-Google an Android as it is an open source software. Also Apple has been giving in when it comes to their privacy claims. No phone is safe from vulnerabilities and prying eyes.
@@moppupaws yup. theres technology used for non sense and can still be hacked. referring to high tech stuff from like government,
@@moppupaws That is an option, but the overwhelming majority of people won’t do that because they either don’t know or care.
SWIM (lol) had this happen and it went so far as to hijack Google Authenticator application's data and swap keys, effectively locking out of email and by extension, everything else.
I'd love to tell you about it in detail.
"android still receives security updates"
>Laughs in Google Pixel which regularly ends security updates after 2 years
My phone is actively trying forcing me to delete what few files I want to make room for more forced updates. It’s over six years old at this point. I keep getting a no space warning even though its got like 30 MBs left. Even though I’ve made space for it to get rid of the warning it keeps coming back. I think it’s trying to cue up a new update but it can’t force update because there isn’t enough space.
I believe with some ROMs you'll have the issue where it's not an update at all, but rather a system log file that keeps growing infinitely. It could also be an app that's growing infinitely, I had this issue with DuckDuckGo browser where it'd just eat 9GB of space and beyond. If your phone isn't rooted and it's not an app then the only way to fix it might be to do a factory reset
My Samsung S22 Ultra has a shit load of AT&T bloatware on it. Can't uninstall it, and my warranty is gone if I root it.
This is gonna shock a lot of people, I have been using the SAME CHINESE Huawei P7 for 9 years now that I got when I was 8 years old, it still does everything it's supposed to do and it's still fast, everything still works properly, to see my 9 year old Chinese built phone is better built than a Samsung fold is insane.
Muta with regards to making sure you’re always secure, you suggested getting either the Librum 5 or PinePhone Linux phones. I have heard of both of these devices. How familiar of the Linux distro do you need to be in order to use them?
I like Muta's little giddy laugh before bringing up a topic he's excited to discuss, almost like a fat kid walking into a candy store.
*”This video is sponsored by apple”* 😂😂😂
1:40, I don't think it was them saying that I-Phones can't be hacked, but more along the lines of them marketing their phones saying that what happens on your iphones, stays on your iphones, then it get hacked a couple months after and some celebrity nudes got leaked. I think that was the story.
