How to stop fraudulent apps from holding you ransom

ANDROID users can shield themselves from a rare—but particularly disruptive—potentially harmful app (PHA) known as ransomware.
There are protections from ransomware in Android.
Ransomware is a type of app that restricts access to your device until a sum of money is paid. Ransomware usually presents itself in one of two forms: apps that restrict access to your device and then demand payment to regain access to the device, or apps that encrypt data on the device's external storage (such as an SD card) and then demand payment to decrypt your data.
To make the scam more convincing, fraudsters sometimes pretend to be from a credible law enforcement agency and accuse you of doing something illegal so you're more likely to pay.
