Des dizaines de sociétés s’insèrent dans des applications banales pour collecter des données, amassant des informations sur des millions de Français.
Par dizaines, ils se nichent dans des applications mobiles utilisées quotidiennement par des millions de Français. Ils capturent discrètement des données, souvent personnelles, sans que les utilisateurs n’en soient nécessairement conscients, alimentant au passage une industrie opaque et méconnue. Certains de ses acteurs disposent de données sur des millions de Français.
Il s’agit de trackers, de petits logiciels incorporés dans des applications mobiles du quotidien (réseaux sociaux, médias, banques, sites de rencontre). Chaque application en compte 2,5 en moyenne, selon une analyse de plus de 350 applications, réalisée par un groupe d’activistes, rassemblés depuis octobre en association, et publiée vendredi 24 novembre sur leur plate-forme baptisée Exodus. Rares sont les applications qui en sont dépourvues et certaines vont jusqu’à en intégrer une quinzaine. Ce paysage n’est pas exhaustif : la plate-forme ne cherche que les trackers qu’elle a préalablement identifiés, soit une quarantaine.

"There should be millions of Twitter users that have signed in with Twitter into third-party applications. Some of these applications might have gained access to and might still have access to Twitter users private direct messages," he points out, and advises users to check third-party applications permissions and revoke the apps to which they never gave permission to access their DMs.

All the extended coverage of the Heartbleed flaw begs the question, “Are mobile devices affected by this?” The short answer: yes.
The severity of the Heartbleed bug has led countless websites and servers scrambling to address the issue. And with good reason—a test conducted on Github showed that more than 600 of the top 10,000 sites (based on Alexa rankings) were vulnerable. At the time of the scanning, some of the affected sites included Yahoo, Flickr, OKCupid, Rolling Stone, and Ars Technica. . All the extended coverage of the flaw begs the question, “Are mobile devices affected by this?” The short answer: yes. . Mobile apps, like it or not, are just as vulnerable to the Heartbleed Bug as websites are because apps often connect to servers and web services to complete various functions. As our previous blog entry has shown, a sizable number of domains are affected by this vulnerability. Learn more:

Shortly after Facebook announced buying WhatsApp, many users raised privacy concerns. Soon enough, security experts revealed identifying a number of vulnerabilities, which they catalogued as being exactly the kind “the NSA would love.”
The security issues have been identified by Praetorian. The company’s new mobile application security testing platform Project Neptune has been put to the test.
A total of four SSL-related security holes have been identified. First, researchers found that SSL pinning is not enforced.
This allows an attacker to launch a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack between the mobile application and the backend web services and capture user credentials and other sensitive information.

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. ===> Einzige Abhilfe schafft ein Update oder eine Neuinstallation der App. <===
