Hi folks,

Just a heads up that ransomware type trojans are starting to appear on Android.
As with other security threats, the best things you can do are not install from sources other than the play store and be very careful following links in emails, check the permissions an app wants when you install it and beware of ads and anything offering something which seems to good to be true.
