Android had 3 zero days in 2022, iOS had 7. I think they are pretty much similar if you don't install random crap.
I suspect this article is about a bug in Play Protect, which is an on-device security scanner. I don't think iOS has something similar.
- charcircuit 3y agoBoth platforms scan apps for malware when you upload them to the store before they can be downloaded by users.
- kramerger 3y agoPlay Protect runs locally on the phone and also covers sideloaded apps.
- charcircuit 3y agoThat is unrelated to the article.
- kramerger 3y agoPlease read the article again :) The attack vector was normal apps purchased by the hackers were modified to download and install malicious apps. This should have been caught by Play Protect on the device, but failed due to the bug
- charcircuit 3y agoIt would have been caught as the apks were uploaded to the store. Before anyone would be able to download it.
- kramerger 3y agoRead the article :) :) It has a link to the original report
- charcircuit 3y agoI don't see what you are talking about. There is still no mention of play protect.
