Cybercriminals Exploit Björk's Biophilia App To Compromise Androids

Posted by timothy on from the click-here-for-free-bjork dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Russians who put out fake versions of Angry Bird Space and Instagram for Android last week have competition. Biophilia, a musical experiment by Bjork into the world of apps, has been ported to Android as a Trojan." Maybe not totally surprising; as the submitter reader continues, "last year at the launch of the app, Bjork was quoted in an interview inviting pirates/hackers to attempt to port her code over from iPhone to other platforms."

      The problem is, a lot of users don't have the play store. The best selling Android tablet certainly doesn't have it. And places like China have other stores set up becaues AOSP is huge (probably bigger than official Android). And since many devs do NOT sell anywhere but Play (SlideME, AppsLib, Amazon, etc have very few apps - no more than 10%), especially free apps, if you don't have it, you need to find the APK somewhere else.

      Why do you think people who buy Archose/Nook/Kindle Fire/other Android Tablet immediately go to xda-devs to see if there's a Market/Play hack for it? THOSE are the techies. Everyone else googles for the APK.

      Finally, well, apps can cost money on Play. There's a natural human tendency to not want to pay for stuff like software (especially in places like Asia), so if they can get a Angry Birds Space for free from some other site, they would. (If it wasn't lucrative, do you think malware devs would spend all that time and effort?).

      Apple is a different beast - since it's so hard to sideload apps (and you should see the howls of people complaining they can't load pirated apps on the new iPad). Probalby why people resort to phishing for iTunes credentials.

      So what you're advocating is... peace of mind/security through obscurity?

      No, it's a rethink of security from the ground up, except with a deep understanding of the audience. It's called Dancing Pigs and it explains why people constantly get malware on their PCs and why the Android security model, while great for techies, is positively lousy for general users.

      Think of it this way - user wants Angry Birds Space. I just checked (what I think was) the official app (free one - because who pays for apps?) - here are the permissions it wants

      - Modify/Delete USB storage contents

    But the fact that it got posted on slashdot....

    Slashdot is a well known target site for Apple/MS marketing and PR ... look at the article submissions, there are accounts which are used to push negative Google/Android/GPL stories constantly. Lately, they start to submit other stories to hide the shilling a bit, but it fools no-one, because the pattern is always the same - a summary that either slams Google/Andoid/GPL or praises Apple, followed by a first post - within seconds - that has obviously been typed up and prepared well in advance. And if, heaven forbid, a positive Google/Android story should appear, then again there will be a first post - within seconds - aiming to destroy the positive story and shape the discussion that follows into one that focuses on unrelated negatives instead of the actual article.

  27. Yes, it is called AVG Mobilation... by fallen1 · · Score: 1

    and you can find both the free and pro versions of their product here --> http://www.avg.com/ww-en/antivirus-for-android

    No, I am not a paid (or unpaid) spokeperson for AVG. I do like their products and the fact the free version works very well on my Android is good enough for me to recommend them.
