A study of 40 mobile commerce apps shows hackers are posting copies of retailers’ apps to secondary app stores, copies designed to capture and transmit confidential customer information that can be used to commit fraud. 90% of Android retail mobile apps and 35% of Apple iOS retail mobile apps have been duplicated and published to secondary app stores by hackers seeking to disrupt retailers’ mobile activities or collect confidential customer information that can be used to make fraudulent transactions, according to the Third Annual State of Mobile App Security report from Arxan, a web and mobile security technology firm. A secondary app store is any app store other than Google Play, the primary Android app store, and the Apple App Store, the primary Apple iOS app store. Learn more:

A particularly devious new Android malware can make calls or take photos even if you shut the device down, according to security research firm AVG. To achieve this, the malware hijacks the shutting down process — making it appear as though your Android device is shutting down. You see the animation, the screen goes black, but the phone is actually still on.

A new report from security firm Avast out this morning reveals the discovery of a new form of malware on the Google Play store, which begins to display advertisements disguised as warning messages to end users when they unlock their Android smartphone. What’s interesting about this malware – or adware, as it’s better known – is that some of the applications where it was discovered already have a large number of installs. For instance, a card game app called Durak has 5 to 10 million installs according to the data on Google Play. Explains Avast researcher Filip Chytry, the malware was first brought to the company’s attention by way of a comment on the Avast forums, and, initially, he didn’t think much of it. Learn more:

We're being steadily trained to think of paying for things as unnecessary or stupid, and to accept the term "free" as synonymous with "free in return for your privacy", despite efforts by the likes of GPEN and the EU to push back the tide. The 1200 apps looked at here represent the tiniest fraction of the app world, with Google's Play Store currently hosting over 1.1 million free and 200,000 paid-for apps, and Apple's store offering similar numbers.
