Do you want more Malware apps? Because this is how you get more malware apps.
- akshatpradhan 10y agoAre you suggesting training DOES NOT help reduce risk associated with Malware Apps? If that's what you're saying, then we should throw Secure Development Training and Security Awareness Training out the window for everybody. :)
- grenoire 10y agoNo, he is pointing out that this will lead to more Indian malware applications on the Play Store.
- akshatpradhan 10y agoFrom what I understand, you're saying more Developer Training will lead to more Indian malware apps?
- zo1 10y agoThey are saying that more indian developers doing android development will lead to more indian malware apps.
- strikerj 10y agoAre you saying malware apps are created inadvertently? If anything this would lead to more complex malware apps.
- akshatpradhan 10y ago>If anything this would lead to more complex malware apps. Are you saying that Indians who get trained in Development will consciously become more nefarious and wittingly release more malware? I honestly feel like you can say that about any group of developers in the world. There's bound to be 1 bad actor in every group. That's just security.
- mixedCase 10y ago>become more nefarious Hello this is Pajeet from Microsoft I think your computer crash because you didn't do the reality check.
- mind_heist 10y agoI find your assessment inherently racist,but I would like hear more logical reasoning , if you have any of course. 1.The fact that you could buy neatly stitched Calvin Klein , H&M , GAP or Zara apparel is because some 'Trained and Skilled' bangladeshi tailor is stitching all of those clothes. 2.The fact that you could kick around Adidas, Nike, Puma, Select, Litto, Umbro, Mitre, Micassa, Diadora, Wilsoms and Decathion footballs around is because some 'trained and skilled' person in Sialkot is sitting and making them. 3.The reason you could wear stylish Adidas and Nike shoes is because , some'skilled and trained' vietnamese people in a factory somewhere outside Ho Chi Min City are making them ! I could endlessly add things to this list, which showcases how trained labour from south american countries , Africa , Eastern Europe and other parts of the world make stuff that is sold as 'premium'/'top of the line' products. I am not sure if you understand Globalization and International Trade enough, May be some research in those area might realign your perspective. On a different Note , I am not sure if you might have thought there would be more Malware Apps on the Apple AppStore if there were 2 million more iOS/ Swift Developers. It suggests something about how you perceive Google Vs Apple's Appstore Approval criteria.
- sharemywin 10y agoLogically, if at least one of those 2 million developers releases at least 1 malware app more malware apps will have been release to the play store. Although, they could be arguing that regardless of race introducing a large group of people to introductory training will lead to more "bad" apps if that group doesn't have access to more experienced mentors and/or senior developers especially with regards to security. But, he/she was probably just being racist.
- ben_jones 10y agoNope you were going down the right path. More developers === more malware developers. Combine that with a government that gives no fucks about reports of cybercrime within their borders, and you get a recipe for malware proliferation. But no I'm probably just racist!
