AN INTENSE heatwave with temperatures hotter than the Sahara will scorch the west coast this weekend as over 20million residents brace for the dangerous conditions.
The thermometers across California, Nevada and Arizona will crack the 100s through the rest of the week in what experts attribute to as "heat dome" conditions.

The National Weather Service has warned residents to prepare for severe heat conditions after temperatures in Phoenix rose to 107 degrees on Tuesday.
The San Diego desert areas will see temperatures reach up to 117 degrees.
Temperatures are expected to peak by Friday, which is predicted to be the week's hottest day in most locations.

Android warning for all users – X ‘criminal’ apps are ruining your phone, delete these now
ANDROID users need to avoid these apps that hackers have corrupted to steal people's information.
The Android malware known as "Dracarys" has been found in versions of Telegram, WhatsApp, YouTube, and now Signal, a messaging app.
1A team of hackers have used Dracarys malware to steal people's information through the messaging app, Signal.Credit: ReutersDracarys has been reported by Meta for data-stealing, geo-locating, and its microphone-activation capabilities.
The malware is used by the Bitter APT hacking group who has reportedly targeted users from New Zealand, India, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom, so far.
Cyble, a cyber-intelligence firm, has recently published a report about the Dracarys attack on Signal and shared it with Bleeping Computer.
Hackers have created a phishing page that looked like a Signal download portal, using the domain signalpremium[.]com, to lure innocent people into their scheme.

The trick was that the hackers also included the Draycarys malware into the code.
Through permission requests, that people probably just thought was normal when setting up a messaging app, the hackers were granted access to the following:
The user's phone contact list, SMS, camera and microphone, and their device's precise location.

The malware hacks the Accessibility Service as well, to auto-grant additional permissions and continue running in the background, no matter if the user closes the Signal app.
Dracarys can also collect a list of installed apps and various files, capture screenshots from the device, record audio, and upload the media to a server controlled by the hackers.
Bleeping computer has suggested a few ways to avoid being hacked.
Be careful when downloading new apps. Always use the official Google Play Store rather than a third-party site.
