android-piracy-security-issues

The Chief Marketing Officer of SwiftKey wrote a long blog post of 8217; # & company to illustrate the risks for those using pirated copies of famous predictive keyboard scrolling, and-so far there would be nothing strange. No one would expect a different style article on the blog of a & # 8217; application, but its publication is not random, and takes place shortly after another interesting article appeared on Android App Development Ireland last week, in which was basically shows step by step how to turn an apk pirated by a keylogger SiftKweyâ€" software that can capture the 8217; # & keyboard input on our device, obviously with malevolent purposes (username, password, credit card numbers, etc.).

Of course the problem cannot occur by purchasing l 8217; # & app from official sources (, Play Google Amazon Appstore and Android PIT , or, for the betas VIP of SwiftKey community), and Mr. Braidwood said even grateful to the Irish site for having pointed out the thing, insisting on policy privacy statement keyboard to ensure that no password or credit card number is collected from 8217; # & original SwiftKey. In Android app would also be # & 8220; particularly easy to insert malicious code 8221 & #; (rather than on iOS), since they are written in Java rather than be a compiled binary. In short, user warned, forearmed. And you have never resorted to any pirated software for not paying a & # 8220; Caramel Macchiato 8220 # & ;
