eScan CERT-In Bot Removal

A bot is a type of malware that can infect a mobile device that does not have an anti-virus app. It works similarly to computer bots and can be used by hackers to access data, apps, and internet usage on the infected device. This can happen if the device becomes part of a botnet, which is a network of infected devices controlled by a hacker or botnet owner.

There are various ways in which a device can become infected with a bot, such as through Trojan, malware, and worms that are embedded in emails, apps, or websites. Once infected, the hacker can carry out malicious activities on the device, such as copying data, downloading harmful apps, blocking calls and texts, and even gaining access to user accounts and using the device's internet connection for attacks.

To prevent a device from becoming part of a botnet, users can take precautions such as checking app permissions, monitoring data usage, and only downloading apps from official app stores. It is also important to avoid opening emails or links from suspicious sources and to browse the internet with an anti-virus app installed.

To help users protect their devices from becoming part of a botnet, the eScan CERT-In Bot Removal Toolkit has been developed. This toolkit allows users to scan their devices for bots and other malicious activities, view app permissions, and remove any harmful apps. It also features a cloud virus signature database and a privacy advisor to help keep user data safe and secure.

In today's world, where data privacy is a major concern, it is important to take steps to protect our devices from malware and other threats. With the eScan CERT-In Bot Removal Toolkit, users can have peace of mind knowing that their devices are safe and secure from botnet infections and other harmful activities.
