Leaky apps, which unintentionally expose sensitive data, pose a growing risk to mobile security. These apps can leak critical information like your location and contacts, creating vulnerabilities across mobile ecosystems. In this blog, we dive into the hidden dangers of leaky apps and how Quokka’s mobile security intelligence helps organizations detect and mitigate these threats. Learn how to protect your data and secure your mobile environment.
“Chatty apps” are mobile apps that can interact with SMS and MMS services without user authorization, posing serious risks to data privacy, security, and financial integrity. Learn how mobile security intelligence can detect and mitigate the risks posed by chatty applications before they compromise your devices.
Sloppy app development is code that doesn’t follow security protocols and creates vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit. These sloppy apps are an open door for exploitation, potentially compromising sensitive data and exposing users to a wide range of security risks.
Harvester apps collect more data than they need, which can put both personal and company data at risk. Learn how harvester apps operate, and how to protect your personal and work information during Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
