Ich hatte gestern die Chance, mir die Funktionsweise rund um den automatischen Upload bei der @nextcloud -Android-App erklären zu lassen.

Seither bin ich viel geduldiger, weil ich jetzt weiss, dass vieles, was ich sonst so ausprobiert hatte, nichts bringt.

Damit ihr nicht auch im Dunkeln tappen müsst, habe ich die Erklärung für euch zusammengefasst.

Smartphone-Diebstahlwelle in London: Untätigkeitsvorwürfe gegen Apple und Google

In London sind Smartphone-Diebstähle zur Plage geworden. Apple profitiere davon, statt Nutzer konsequent zu schützen, monieren verärgerte Parlamentarier.

"We disclose a novel tracking method by Meta and Yandex potentially affecting billions of Android users. We found that native Android apps—including Facebook, Instagram, and several Yandex apps including Maps and Browser—silently listen on fixed local ports for tracking purposes.

These native Android apps receive browsers' metadata, cookies and commands from the Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica scripts embedded on thousands of web sites. These JavaScripts load on users' mobile browsers and silently connect with native apps running on the same device through localhost sockets. As native apps access programatically device identifiers like the Android Advertising ID (AAID) or handle user identities as in the case of Meta apps, this method effectively allows these organizations to link mobile browsing sessions and web cookies to user identities, hence de-anonymizing users' visiting sites embedding their scripts.

This web-to-app ID sharing method bypasses typical privacy protections such as clearing cookies, Incognito Mode and Android's permission controls. Worse, it opens the door for potentially malicious apps eavesdropping on users’ web activity."

Meta using the Meta pixel used on many websites and exploiting Android to identify you across sites even if you are behind a VPN by cross-communicating on your device. These guys are so bad.

« #Google has recently implemented new restrictions on sideloading #Android apps, citing growing security concerns. In a pilot program launched in Singapore, the tech giant now blocks the installation of certain sideloaded apps […] if they are downloaded via web browsers, messaging apps, or file managers. The move, developed in partnership with Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency, is designed to prevent fraud and malware-enabled scams. » via @purism
