Vulnerability Found in Every Fourth Android App
As experts told Izvestia, it was discovered in the Android Jetpack library, which includes Google's tools for creating programs. How dangerous is this vulnerability?
The Izvestia newspaper claims that vulnerabilities have been found in every fourth Android app. We are talking about the Google toolkit that developers use to create navigation systems in their apps.
This set of tools is called a "library". The vulnerability discovered allows hackers to transmit any data to a hacked application. It does not matter at all what the developer specified in the code and what restrictions he set, say Izvestia experts.
However, information security expert and CEO of Phishman Alexey Gorelkin says that the presence of a vulnerability does not mean that scammers can exploit it.
Experts remind us about the rules of digital hygiene. If you do not follow them, attackers will hack anything without vulnerabilities. We also recommend installing an antivirus. This will significantly increase the security level of your device.
