Android in danger - some serious vulnerabilities

At the Black Hat hacker conference in 2012 on the protection of information professionals from various companies and government agencies showed the audience some very dangerous vulnerabilities in the popular mobile platform Android. In particular, it was shown to bypass the security systems in the official application store, in the short-range wireless communication technology NFC and in older versions of the operating system itself.

Experts from the division of Trustwave SpiderLabs demonstrate the problem in the technology Bouncer, which is used for automatic analysis of the applications submitted for publication in the App Store. Due to still resolve the issue, attackers can bypass the protection and introduce arbitrary code on almost any Android-device. The result is a serious risk that the next application that will be all the stages of selection and will be published in Play Market, would be harmful.
