Why is android so insecure lads?

>>61387618
Did you even fucking read it? Kill yourself dipshit

>>61387627
Any app that is allowed to access this information should raise red flags. Even if the code is injected to gather it later on. There’s still a function that allows for code injection, which should raise red flags too.

>>61387627
How does the app load malicious code after installation? What unpatched exploit? Do they not check uploads when running? Why doesn't iOS have this issue?

>>61387522
>installing apps
>smartphones

My Nokia 3310 does not have this issue. Kys.

>>61387652
Have you used an Android phone? Apps request permissions on install, and you have to fucking approve it. If you're a retard and just click accept you deserve this.

>>61387654
I was unaware that uploading data to the cloud was considered an exploit when you click the Accept button. Tell me more.

>>61387698
Rather than making the poor design choice of prompting you for every permission individually it shows you all permissions it needs to function, because Android users typically aren't babbies that need to be told how to handle technology. Normies can rot, who cares?

>>61387682
Why isn't it asking you if you wish to upload your shit to the cloud nigga?

your current sub-standard-looking gf will love all those juicy messages you sent to Stacy then

>>61387718
Wouldn't you like to know *when* and *why* it's using those permissions? You click one button at install and suddenly it has free reign to use those permissions at any time without even letting you know about it or any explanation at all.

>>61387522
They are fucking idiots, imagine the kind of dosh they would have made if they masqueraded as legit studio, released one of those games babies and retarded kids download onto billions of their parents phones, then sent the code.

So practically any app you have on your phone including the stock rom, with any kind of internet access can receive and load such code without your knowledge.

>But if you are hit by the ransomware and are worried about your sexy selfies and photographs being leaked to your friends and relatives, you might be thinking of paying a ransom.
>Do not pay the Ransom! Doing so motivates cyber criminals to carry out similar attacks, and there is also no guarantee that the stolen information will be deleted by the hackers from their server and will not be used to blackmail victims again.

topkek

they will pay

also who installs wallpaper apps and grants them permission to take selfies. I can understand allowing them to access files and storage. But again people are fucking stupid so a lot probably did.

>>61387764
I personally don't give a fuck cause the only apps I use are for work (9mail) and messaging my friends. I also have deep packet inspection, IPS, and AV running on my gateway. This shit has absolutely no affect in me.

>All Your Friends

You do realize where you are?

>>61387698
>>61387873
You're both right and both wrong

Android apps handle permissions one of two ways

1) If they're written for Android 6.0 onwards, it's the same way as iOS - prompt when needed

2) If they're written using an older API, it gives you a list when you install the app, and installing it indicates that you accept all the permissions it asks for.

Sauce: https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html

I'd imagine the malware probably uses method 2, which is like a EULA in that almost no fucker reads them, they just want to click through to the app they just installed.

But because Android is fragmented to fuck, they can't force API 23 on everyone.

Damn, I used Wallpapers Blur HD a few years ago.

>>61387801
Yeah, it's a consequence of having an actual filesystem.

>>61388127
Just listen to the fucking app name, "wallpapers hd blur". Who the fuck installs shit like this? Get off /g/.

Using a firewall and xprivacy can help avoiding this problem.
doesn't stock android have app permissions?
did users allow wallpaper app to access contacts?

>>61387522
So you are saying if I have dick pics on my phone they will get sent to all the women I've met over the years against my will. Thereby, providing a perfectly reasonable legal defense if any of the more sjw types consider it some form of rape or indecent exposure? Thus allowing me an avenue to explore my exhibitionist side?
Oh man that sucks, at least they already removed the 2 apps mentioned. But there are still so many apps out there! I mean which one could possibly have still the virus? Plz let me know if you find another 1 so I can make sure to steer clear of it.

she was really depressed at that time and crying and had like a panic attack and shit, she was feeling that life is really bad for her blabla, so i just said something along these lines:

"You think life if shit for you? Well I am a pedo and it is just so much worse for me. I have to live with this shit every moment of my life, and I know that I will never have anyone whom I love and who loves me back. So just shut the fuck up and pull your shit together"

No wonder this OS is primarily used by chinks and pajeets. What a sack of shit. When will you people learn that iOS does it best by keeping the phone as a reliable and solid sandboxed app launcher, ie, all people really fucking want.

>>61392888
>who cares if pictures of your penis and saved porn if any as well as your fatcowsex.com browsing history gets sent to all your fucking phonebook contacts including family, friends and colleagues

You're not very smart are you? Either that or you don't have any contacts or your phone is sterile with zero data from anything on it.

>>61393150
the trick is not having friends and keeping distant from family, anon.

NEET life

>>61387522
This strategy could easily catch people without even deploying a ransomware:
Just send e-mails saying that "we got your cuck porn traffic, give bitcoin bitch or else"

So many people would fall to this...

>>61393240
So basically phishing?

good thing i only have a couple of contacts and don't have facebook

>no photos on phone, just wallpapers, since photos are automatically uploaded to Drive
>most of my contacts haven't been updated in 8+ years, so they probably don't have the same number
>delete my SMS regularly, since they're backed up to Drive automaticaly
>phone calls are deleted regularly
>facebook messages contain what every men and/or weeb searches and talks about
>history gets deleted regularly
>only emails are from Amazon and workplace
>no one cares where I go to, and I'm even in another country
What a shitty virus. They don't even try these days, do they?

>>61393164
The trick to what? Depression?

>>61393618
You only get depressed if you do nothing and are mentally weak or unstable, really. I've spent a lot of time not talking with my "friends" on zuccbook and if my family doesn't call or message then I don't even remember they exist, really. I only worry about goint to work, getting money, watch anime, play games and go to the gym. And before you say it's fun and you need to socialize, you really don't. Talking with anons on The Wired is more than enough because in most jobs you're already forced to socialize in one way or another, unfortunately.

I would never install fishy apps, but I think I'll remove all the bestiality I have on my phone just in case they find a way to spread it silently like wannacry in the future

Honestly, the fappening had nothing to do with iPhones.
It was purely to do with the login security of iCloud.

How do I remove this once it's on the phone? Do you just clean install?

seriously the whole leaking your info only seems like a threat to drug dealers, businessmen, and teenagers with tons of porn searches
the encryption lockout is 500x more of an incentive to pay the ransom, they didn't have to go through the hassle of cloud storage transfers and automated newslettering of a masdive database of your info to your contacts
probably costs them more in server related fees than they get in randoms, assuming it's not all a bluff

>>61387522
>take the sim card out

Profit!
Though this would never happen to anyone with half a brain, blindly giving permissions that do not make sense to apps is asking for it.
Even if it's something like Skype, and you know you're not gonna be taking pictures with it, deny the permission for camera access.
