據國外媒體報道,安全廠商Dasient對1萬款Android應用進行了研究,發現逾8%的應用向沒有獲得授權的計算機傳輸用戶的個人資料。這類惡意件旨在控制用戶的智能手機。例如,11款應用會自動向用戶通信錄中的聯系人發送短信。如果用戶需要為短信付費,用戶在不知情的情況下就可能需要支付巨額賬單。
Dasient首席技術官尼爾·達斯萬尼(Neil Daswani)表示,在過去2年內,惡意的Android應用增長了1倍。用戶可能在訪問網站時不知不覺地被安裝了惡意件。
Android Market不對提交的應用進行審查是惡意Android應用泛濫的一大原因。
盡管開發者無需等待應用通過審批,但這樣做的代價卻要有用戶來承擔。由于沒有采取最基本的措施確保應用不是惡意件,如果當前的趨勢不發生改變,未來兩年內Android Market中將充斥著大量惡意件。
除用戶的個人資料外,惡意件還經常泄露手機的IMEI碼(國際移動電話設備識別碼)和IMSI碼(國際移動用戶識別碼)。這些信息被泄露后,犯罪分子可以方便地復制用戶的SIM卡,或將信息批量出售給非法組織。
