Android Flaw Exploited; iOS and Windows Possible As Well
Researchers Hack Android Apps With Up TO 92 Percent Success Rate, Windows And iOS Also May Be Vulnerable
Researchers from the University of California Riverside have discovered a flaw in the Android operating system, that allows them to hack most Android apps between 82 and 92 percent of the time.
The way they accomplish this is by having the user install a malware-infected app, and then taking advantage of the shared memory of the apps to steal information from other apps, thereby completely bypassing Android’s permission and sandboxing security system.
