G+_Albert Robbins Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Talk about a big step backwards. Now it will be almost impossible to help friends and family avoid apps that abuse permissions. Even worse, apps that were ok can now be silently updated to include permissions that can be abused to send pay sms or with privacy implications. That is, an even worse situation compared to how popular Chrome extensions are sold and modified to include ads and/or spyware. sigh http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/06/android-no-longer-reveals-app-permission-changes-in-automatic-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
