Harmful Android SDKs accessed your Personal Data on Facebook & Twitter
Facebook
and Twitterhave been rocked by Malicious Android Software Development Kits(SDKs)
after the Cambridge Analytica Scandal.
These SDKs integrated with thousands of Android apps through the connected
social media accounts(Facebook&Twitter) and illegally accessed the user’s
personal data.
Twitter found out
that an SDK developed by OneAudience
contains a privacy-breaching code.
This enabled the malicious android SDK to transfer some personal data of its
user’s to the OneAudience servers. Similarly, Facebook is investigating an SDK
from Mobiburn. This Android SDK is alleged to have sharedthe user data to data collection
firms through certain Facebook-connected apps.
