Defined by the technical Tu Wen and Bayroit University researchers – they showed how invisible animations can be used to overcome the Android resolution system.
The freshness is different from classical attacks with interface: the attackers initiate a almost completely transparent activity above reliable application.
The user sees the usual interface, but in fact interacts with a dangerous screen, for example, with a systemic desire to access the camera. Low transparency and scaling and the touch of animations “cut”, direct them to the hidden “let me” buttons and the like.
The control of approximately 100,000 applications from Google Play showed that 76% of them are potentially vulnerable – they use the appropriate activity for launch through the fresh. Google recognized the problem and promised to eliminate the future Android updates.
