With the threat already in ads, are mobile users left vulnerable to attacks?
Though developers need to be very careful installing ad networks in their apps, users can still protect themselves by
===> making sure that the Android system setting ‘Unknown sources’ is unchecked to prevent dropped or drive-by-download app installs and installing security apps like Lookout to as their first line of defense against malware. <===

There are some surprising numbers available that tell a dark story about mobile apps and what they can be doing on your device.
By now you've read about malicious apps that leak privacy data, but do you realize how serious it really is? If not, you'd better pay attention to the following statistics gathered by Symantec*. And if you think that Google Play is 100% safe, it isn't. I have some data that yields some shocking results about the number of malicious apps waiting to grab your data. ===> Unfortunately, the playing surface for Internet naughtiness has changed in the past couple of years and you need to know that it's only getting worse. <===

Security-SuperGAU für alle Nutzer von iPhones und iPads: Experten haben eine Lücke in iOS-Apps entdeckt, die es erlaubt, die komplette Kommunikation über fremde Server umzuleiten. Tausende Apps sollen betroffen sein.
Über HTTP Request Hijacking sollen sich Hacker in iOS-Apps einschleichen und so den Datentraffic über eigene Server umleiten können. Nach erfolgreichem Angriff soll die Umleitung dann permanent aktiv sein.

Summer 2013 App Reputation Report to examine the hidden behaviors behind free and paid mobile apps
The cloud-based, fully automated Appthority App Risk Management Service performed static, dynamic and behavioral app analysis on the 400 most popular free and paid apps on the iOS and Android platforms.
Appthority analyzed each app for particular behaviors within a test environment . Highlights from the App Reputation Report are:
- Overall, 83% of the most popular apps are associated with security risks and privacy issues.
- iOS apps exhibited more risky behaviors than Android apps. 91% of iOS apps exhibit at least one risky behavior, as compared to 80% of Android apps.
- 95% of the top free apps and 77.5% of the top paid apps exhibited at least one risky behavior.
- 78% of the most popular free Android apps identify the user's ID (UDID).
- Even though Apple prohibits its developers from accessing the UDID, 5.5% of the tested iOS apps still do.
- 72% of the top free apps track for the user's location, compared to 41% of paid apps.
- Although paid apps already generate revenue when downloaded, 59% of paid iOS and 24% of paid Android apps still support in-app purchasing.
- Furthermore, 39% of paid iOS and 16% of paid Android apps still share data with ad networks.
