“Malicious Stick Nodes APK”

“My friend Devon liked to animate stuff. He made flipbooks and stopmotions of people fighting. Now, he discovered about Stick Nodes Pro, he wanted to animate like me (Jack). He didn’t really wanna pay so he found an APK website called DealAPK.org and he downloaded Stick Nodes. Now, while I was writing this, I sorta realized, the reason it’s called DealAPK is because it’s like dealing with the devil cause it cost him his phone. When you open Stick Nodes up for the first time, they ask for your language and stuff but Devon noticed something different. There was no “choose your language” and Stick Nodes was automatically set to Greek, and the Default was colored black. Devon didn’t really understand Greek as he was learning Italian. He shrugged it off and started animating. A while later his Stick Nodes started glitching and his phone started lagging. His screen turned off and when he turned it on, the Default was staring at us. His smile was small and eerie, his eyes gave off this wierd vibe. Then this message appeared…

“Έχετε 10 ημέρες για να πληρώσετε 3000$ διαφορετικά τα αρχεία σας θα καταστραφούν. Το τηλέφωνό σας θα επαναφερθεί εάν δεν πληρωθεί εγκαίρως”

We didn’t understand anything but we think that this is some ransomware. My friend lost all important data and he learned never to download on APK websites again. Somehow though this picture of the thing we now call “Stick Nodes Demon” appeared on Devon’s gallery one day.”
