Le mécanisme de mise à jour d’Android souffre d’une importante faille de sécurité. Selon une étude menée à l’université de l’Indiana et chez Microsoft Research, plusieurs vulnérabilités critiques existent au sein du système de permissions gérant les nombreuses versions de l’OS mobile. En faisant croire qu'elle avait jusque-là tous les droits, une application malveillante pourrait, après la mise à jour, accéder à toutes les données personnelles. Présente dans toutes les versions officielles d’Android, cette faille menace potentiellement plus d’un milliard de smartphones et de tablettes.

Mobile service provider NQ Mobile today released a study of malware covering 2012, using data gathered from the company's Security Labs.
NQ’s data indicates that Android is a big risk for malware, but iOS has also recently come under fire for free apps that leak more personal data than on other platforms. Overall, mobile security is likely to be a growing concern, and one that could potentially become more complicated as the pace of improvements to mobile tech increases and our usage of those devices grows higher still.
===> For now, common sense is probably the best defense against security threats, but a more unified Android platform would help to limit malware problems as well as significantly improve developers’ lives. <===

DFI News Digital Forensic Investigator is a multi-media resource for digital forensic professionals working in academic, government, law enforcement, and corporate settings.
Call it Invasion of the iPhone Snatchers: a new FinFisher-based spyware is built to infect iPhones and iPads (and Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone gadgets too) in order to take over the device completely — all unbeknownst to the user.
The smartphones and tablets will innocently appear to be themselves, but in reality the mobile malware is working in the background to track the device’s location, monitor activity and intercept communications including emails, voice calls and text messages.
Gust MEES: in Education we use Internet for e-Learning + m-Learning and also we embrace "Bring Your Own Device" (Twitter Hashtag = #BYOD), so we need to know also about the dangers, risks and threats with it! That's our responsibility against our learners (students) and we need to learn the basics of IT-Security and share our knowledge and help our learners when security problems occur ;)
