Trojans

Trojans consist of applications or files that disguise themselves as exact replicas of banking applications in order to obtain your information, which is immediately sent to cybercriminals. These apps can also be disguised as conventional apps, like a flashlight or calculator."

MY Alebrije Ferrus

He is a computer program developed by an unknown alien species. He came to earth in the wreckage of a ship orbiting the earth, and a programmer extracted his information from the ship and fed it into his computer. Ferrus was programmed to be a super advanced antivirus and control account hacking on his home planet, so when it entered the computer, it automatically spread throughout the network.

Powers

When he entered in the network, he investigated about Earth's mythology and decided to took the appearance of a type of dragon. When he detects a malware, he tracks the IP adress of the malicious program developer and overheats the computer until it burns.

Situations in which ferrus has tried to solve the problem

2. When a student was tired of online classes, he sent a trojan to his teacher and ferrus burned his laptop, so the school had to pay a new one.

1. After a trend of spreading trojans across the net, ferrus overheated so much that he took down the internet for 2 days, which earned him recognition."

What WOuld I do?

First of all, I would not download an app with less than 3 stars and bad reviews, no matter how interesting it looks like.

Out of that, the only thing I could do is spread this information.
