Hi guys. This has become a worrying issue for me because I’m uncertain if I am being targeted for hacking or malware attack. I have a nova 7 SE running on Android 10.

So here is what happened. This started like way back in Friday, when I was watching Youtube and all of sudden Download Manager shows that I have downloaded something, even thought I didn’t. Opening it (which was probably a big mistake) shows a low resolution Facebook icon.

On the next day, however, it happened AGAIN, this time with 2 files at around 9pm. It’s a low-res Reddit logo and another one is a poster from my university. I panicked when I received the notification, so I reformatted my phone. At first it seemed like it stopped, but today, I got like another 2 file, those which I swear to god I did not even download by myself.

Am I in trouble? Do I need to change my phone? I don’t even know what the hell happened. Is it really malware attack that I fell into?
