It's funny; without your example, I probably would have had to spend another 5-10 minutes figuring out exactly what this was.

- ShaneWilton 12y agoYeah, the research paper is a bit wordy. It's novel, though, because here it adds another vector for malware to inject into legitimate apps to hijack a phone, without requiring new permissions. I could see it becoming a serious concern in places like China, where 3rd party markets are much more popular, and republishing existing apps with malware is commonplace.
- diminoten 12y agoThat's actually a great point I hadn't thought of - if the attack uses English, your average Chinese person won't know what's being said and what's being taken.
- tomkarlo 12y agoIf you don't speak English, your phone probably isn't set to EN-US or another locale where the voice recognition would accept english. I'm guessing this depends on the voice reco being set to the right locale.
