Broadcom Wi-Fi chips embedded in Android and iOS devices are vulnerable to a bug that allows an attacker to execute code on their devices, without any interaction needed from the user.
Des chercheurs ont mis à jour un malware intégré à une quarantaine d'applications du Play Store et qui pourrait avoir touché jusqu'à 36,5 millions d'utilisateurs. Des applications malveillantes spécialisées dans la fraude au clic publicitaire qui, depuis, ont été supprimées par Google.
Cloak & Dagger is a new class of potential attacks affecting Android devices. These attacks allow a malicious app to completely control the UI feedback loop and take over the device — without giving the user a chance to notice the malicious activity. These attacks only require two permissions that, in case the app is installed from the Play Store, the user does not need to explicitly grant and for which she is not even notified. Our user study indicates that these attacks are practical. These attacks affect all recent versions of Android (including the latest version, Android 7.1.2), and they are yet to be fixed.

Broadcom chips allow rogue Wi-Fi signals to execute code of attacker's choosing.
Ce programme très sophistiqué est notamment capable de capter les données d’applications, telles que WhatsApp, Skype, Facebook ou Gmail, ou d’activer le micro et la caméra.
Research from web analytics company StatCounter found Android now accounts for a larger share of internet usage than Windows for the first time. During March 2017, Android users represented 37.93 percent of activity on StatCounter’s network versus 37.91 percent for the Microsoft operating system. It’s a small gap for sure — and it refers to usage not necessary users — but it marks a notable tipping point that has been inevitable for the past couple of years.
