Ah, malware. I'm safe since I never install anything.
I was thinking about side-loading an apk of Pokemon Go this weekend, but maybe I'll skip it until I know more about HummingBad.

Pokemon Go isn't certified to work on ARM-based processors, so Google Play won't load it onto my Moto E 2nd Gen. But from what I've seen online it works just fine even though it's not supposed to be supported. So if I want to try it out I'll need to do a little workaround.

I have no idea how to admin an android.
