In brief: Apple likes to talk about how its App Store is incredibly safe and that sideloading apps is just asking for trouble. But Cupertino's virtual storefront certainly isn't immune to malware-filled applications. One researcher has discovered several of them evaded safeguards and made their way onto the Mac App Store. Researcher Privacy 1st (Alex Kleber) analyzed seven different Apple developer accounts, all managed by the same Chinese dev. They note that the apps abuse the Mac App Store in several ways, the most common being that they contain hidden malware able to receive commands from a server (command-and-control). This allows the apps to pass the App Store's initial security checks before the malware is activated. In some apps, Apple's review team saw a completely different user interface than what appears in the final version, as the developers could alter the UI remotely. The lack of a close or back button is always concerning The apps communicate with … [Read more...] about Malware-packed Chinese apps found on Mac App Store

Google announced the merger in June , with the plan to keep the Google Meet brand name while merging the best of both code bases into the Google Duo app. According to Google's PR email (no links, sorry), people will begin seeing Duo's app and website branding swap over to Google Meet this week. Google's various rebrandings are all on a rollout, so they'll arrive at different times for different people, but Google says the complete rebrand should finish for everyone by September. So Google Duo is being rebranded to Google Meet, and the existing Google Meet app is sticking around for a bit. That means there are now two apps called "Google Meet." Google has a help article detailing this extremely confusing situation, calling the two Meet apps "Google Meet (original): The updated Meet app" and "Google Meet: The updated Duo app." The "Google Meet (original)" app will someday be put … [Read more...] about Google’s video chat merger begins: Now there are two “Google Meet” apps

Audio player loading… More than a dozen adware apps have been found being promoted on Facebook, resulting in a total of over seven million downloads, experts have warned. Researchers from McAfee discovered the malicious mobile apps and the aggressive advertising campaign on one of the world’s largest social media platforms, warning that users could be at risk of attack. The promised functionality was to optimize the mobile endpoint (opens in new tab) and rid it of spyware, adware, and other malware (opens in new tab) .

Faking the Play Store The apps managed to serve the ads by abusing the Contact Provider Android component, meaning every time the user installs a new app, the adware uses this subsystem, and begins the ad-serving process.

If you use an Android device, you may have come across an app called Android System WebView. It’s a system app that regularly receives updates via the Google Play store. But what does it do, and should you remove it? A Crucial System Component Android System WebView is an essential system component that Android apps use to display external web content instead of opening it in a regular web browser, such as Chrome. It comes preinstalled on all Android devices. It’s commonly used in apps like Twitter and Facebook to open the shared hyperlinks within the app. But a wide variety of other Android applications also use it to display web content that isn’t a part of the app. The WebView app is based on Chromium , the same open source project that powers the Google Chrome web browser, but it doesn’t include all the features present in the full version of Chrome. So it’s not a replacement for a regular browser. Why Do Apps Use It? Google offers apps multiple ways to show … [Read more...] about What Is Android System WebView?
