🧩 3️⃣ Fleeceware: apps que te “despluman” con suscripciones ocultas.

Las apps llamadas fleeceware ofrecen “pruebas gratis” y funcionalidades útiles, pero ocultan suscripciones caras que empiezan a cobrarse automáticamente al terminar el periodo de prueba.

Vienen incluso desde tiendas oficiales y pueden vaciar tarjetas si no cancelas a tiempo.

🔒 Revisa los permisos y las suscripciones: la gratuidad puede ser una trampa.

Mimikama

Some important coverage today of the trend of #scam artists leveraging the growing public interest in large language models like ChatGPT into really scammy "subscription services" that cost consumers an arm and a leg to access what are, in essence, free services. Here @SophosXOps we call these "#Fleeceware" apps, not technically #malware but somewhat more deceptive - and costly, to consumers suckered into paying for them - than the mishmash category of "Potentially unwanted apps."

I stumbled upon an ad for a particularly egregious example just from reading the news on the Washington Post's website.
