More than 100 million Android devices are vulnerable to identity theft and phishing attacks as a result of a recently discovered flaw in a phone call management app called Truecaller.
On Monday, security researchers at Cheetah Mobile published a blog post in which they discuss how the bug allows bad actors to steal users' personal information, which could open the door to subsequent attacks against the platform's users.
Truecaller is a service available for Android, iOS, and Symbian devices as well as Blackberry phones. It enables users to search for phone numbers, block incoming calls/text messages from spammers and telemarketers, as well as connect with friends.

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.

12 December 2013 Word that mobile malware is rather pervasive has been making the rounds for months, but a new report has found that a shocking 100% of the Top 100 paid Android apps and 56% of the Top 100 paid Apple iOS apps have been hacked. Averaged together, users have a 78% chance of running into an app that has been compromised at some point.

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. <===

Android wird erneut von einer riesigen Sicherheitslücke geplagt. Und Einfallstor des Virus ist niemand geringerer als die Google-Chrome-App. Besucht man in Google Chrome eine manipulierte Webseite, können Angreifer die komplette Kontrolle über das Smartphone übernehmen und das komplette Gerät plattmachen.

Entdeckt haben sie Wissenschaftler der Technischen Universität Darmstadt und Experten des Fraunhofer-Institut für Sichere Informationstechnologie SIT. Die Daten landeten dort – etwa in Facebooks Parse und Amazons AWS - weil App-Entwickler Authentifizierungen für Cloud Services falsch verwenden. Betroffen sind E-Mail-Adressen, Passwörter, Gesundheitsdaten und andere persönliche Informationen von App-Nutzern.
Wissenschaftler der Technischen Universität Darmstadt und das Fraunhofer-Institut für Sichere Informationstechnologie SIT haben mehrere Cloud-Datenbanken untersucht und dabei rund 56 Millionen ungeschützte Datensätze gefunden. Dazu gehören neben E-Mail-Adressen auch Passwörter, Gesundheitsdaten und andere persönliche Informationen. Den Experten zufolge sind dadurch viele Nutzerkonten durch Identitätsdiebstahl und andere Internetverbrechen bedroht.
