I perform regular network audits and it always amazes me how many insecure, outdated android devices people are using - often they're even running services that are remotely exploitable. Quite often we find that such devices run phone-home beacons and it can be quite interesting what data is being sent back to Google and URLs presumably related to installed applications. On a semi related note last week I found that someone's brand new Samsung tablet was seeding torrents, I spoke with the person and we looked over the device carefully, it was not at all clear that although they thought exited the application it was still running and seeding out what looked to be updates to peers online without any indication.
- louhike 11y agoMost smartphones manufacturers tend to stop to update them quickly (it doesn't go more than 2 years for non-major products). And low-end devices cannot run newer OS/softwares. I stopped updating most of my softwares on my phone because it was making my phone too slow, even by deactivating notifications/background processes I did not care too much about.
- drzaiusapelord 11y agoThat's a feature, not a bug. I want my seeding/downloading to run the background. I suspect he doesn't understand how to properly close the application.
