WiFi Password Show: online tutorial for Android & Windows

First of all, I've seen a lot for Android apps on Google Play that supposedly allow you to view the stored WiFi Passwords (with or without phone rooting), but I've tested a few and they failed to show the WiFi Password. I'm giving you first some details on the Android apps I've tried and failed to show my saved WiFi passwords, so you can avoid wasting time - again, these didn't work in my case and based on their reviews I doubt it still works for others.

Buaft.com TikTok earning app is a SCAM

I've recently seen a rise in searches for Buaft.com and Buaft Tiktok earning app (or Buaft app download) and it got me wondering why do people search for that. Visiting that website I find that it redirects to a blog called chandiapk.com which most likely snagged this domain after it expired. This is the first red flag, back in 2023 buaft.com was a domain where a teacher was publishing math tutorials and that seemed legitimate, with some educational content that's still showing up on archive.org.

ToxicPanda: New Android malware that targets your bank account

The new Android malware in town is called ToxicPanda and it targets your banking information by masquerading as common apps and exploiting advanced methods to hijack accounts. Given its nickname, it's not difficult to guess its country of origin (Panda - China). Anyway, since its recent discovery by Cleafy, ToxicPanda has already infected over 1,500 Android devices, mainly in Europe and Latin America.

Can’t change country in Google Play? Bummer.

Your Google Play app will match your device/account country when first setting it up. Which works fine, as long as you don't need to switch countries. Because if you want to do that, you might be stuck with the original country you've set up. First of all, if you want to add a country to your Google Play Store app, basically you just need to add a payment method for that country. However, if you move to another country and want to switch to the new one, supposedly it should be this easy.

I rarely check my Junk folder, so I'm not up to date with the latest scam attempts. However, I did check it today and noticed a subject that caught my attention: "I RECORDED YOU". I immediately realized it's a crypto scam attempt, though I wanted to share it just to make anyone aware that this is truly a scam and to remove it as soon as possible.
