'Very Angry Birds' App Takes Total Control
of Android Phone'
SAN FRANCISCO — How easy is it to
corrupt an Android app with malware? So
easy it can be done in 15 minutes.
That's according to Kevin McNamee,
director of security architecture with
Kindsight in Ottawa, Ontario.
At the B-Sides San Francisco security
conference (Feb. 25), McNamee showed
an audience how to dissect a legitimate
copy of "Angry Birds," add malware and
then reassemble the app.
The result is what McNamee called "Very
Angry Birds" — a mobile Trojan horse
that's both a fully functional game and a
command system that gives a remote
hacker total control over a phone.
Just make sure u r downloading apps from
authentic website !!!
