Mildly off-topic, do you know of any good studies in the dangerous defect rate of auto-updating vs never/manually updating in a semi-sandboxed environment like Android?
- tabbott 1y agoI'm not sure for Android. Chrome's store has a history of legitimate free apps with millions of users but little revenue being purchase by threat actors who then add malware to the app. But I've seen fewer stories of that sort of thing with Android apps. Maybe the app store review process is able to catch it? But just as likely to me is that it's harder to discover that a mobile app is now maliciously sending data somewhere.
