What is dfndr app?
Dfndr App is a cybersecurity program that was designed to protect people’s mobile devices from malware, viruses, and hacking. The app can also alert users if they are downloading an infected file or application. Although the app is still in beta, the company intends to expand the number of download regions and enhance the program’s capabilities. The company also plans to introduce new privacy policies to govern how it shares user information.
“DFNDR Security” is among the programs that were found on the devices of 143 Orange County health officials. The “Health Agency Worker” app can be downloaded free of charge. When a user downloads DFNDR security, it is installed on the device along with other apps and files, including an internet browser and an unknown program that could also be malicious.
The security and anti-virus company Trend Micro Incorporated developed “DFNDR Security.” Trend Micro partnered with AT&T to market and sell the app. AT&T is the California-based telecommunications company that offers landline phone and internet services.
