Currently, customers can earn up to $1,000 in credit for up to five lines, but starting from August 17, the offer will be limited to two redemptions per account, resulting in a maximum credit of $400. This change may impact customers considering switching to T-Mobile and could lead them to reconsider their decision.

FBI cautions smartphone users about risky beta apps and hacker scams

The FBI is warning smartphone users about a new scheme where cybercriminals promote malicious beta versions of apps on popular app stores. These apps, disguised as legitimate ones, are used to steal personal information and drain bank accounts. The FBI advises users to be cautious of apps with red flags such as rapid battery draining, unauthorized installations, and persistent pop-up ads. They also recommend reading customer comments before installing apps from unknown developers, avoiding sharing personal financial information via email, and keeping software up-to-date. Victims of malware-laden apps can report incidents to the FBI.
