: APKPure has faced serious security breaches, most notably in 2021 when its official app was infected with a Trojan that distributed adware and other malicious modules to users.

If you choose to use the site, experts from Avast and NordVPN suggest these precautions:

: Encrypt your traffic and block known malicious domains by using a service like NordVPN or VeePN .

: The site hosts cracked or pirated versions of apps, which are not only illegal in many jurisdictions but also more likely to contain malicious code because they have been modified.

: Always run downloaded APKs through a scanner like VirusTotal before installing them.

: Be wary of any app that asks for unnecessary permissions (e.g., a simple video app asking for access to your contacts or SMS). Is APKPure safe? All you need to know - Avira
