MOSCOW, December 10 Paid subscriptions or fleeceware (from English fleece — to rob) can quietly debit money from the user’s account, even if the application itself is deleted, he said in an interview with the Prime agency. Victor Gulevich, director of the information security competence center T1 Integration.
““They cannot be called malicious — they do not steal data and do not eavesdrop on conversations. However, promising unique features, they only provide additional and not always justified costs,” he said.
Usually such applications promise full or advanced functionality and offer several free days for testing. However, in reality, they provide only the most primitive set of actions — for example, basic photo editing.
If the user understands that he does not need the application, it is not enough to simply delete it. You must cancel your subscription in the account management section, otherwise the money will continue to be debited.
