King Root Can Steal Your Sensitive Details Like Banks, Cc & Wallet Info by Joel3(m): 10:03pm On Sep 20, 2016 |
haven study king root for I while would say though it gives you the root access it has its own service running in background which maybe pushing your data to their servers. If its just meant to root your device why does it require so many unncessary permission in its manifest. Here you can have a look from its decompiled sources. <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.WAKE_LOCK"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.READ_OWNER_DATA"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.READ_LOGS"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.INTERNET"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.RESTART_PACKAGES"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.CAMERA"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.ACCESS_MTK_MMHW"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.ACCESS_CACHE_FILESYSTEM"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.GET_TASKS"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"/> <uses-feature android:name="android.har dware.wifi"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.per mission.WRITE_OWNER_DATA"/> <uses-permission android:name="com.kingroo t.kinguser.permission.activityCalled"/> As you see it needs internet permission to root the device , but you never know how its been used. The question arises why does it need to read the phone state i.e Contacts, Camera permission i.e Photos indirectly , location access, reading owner Information, read our phone logs etc. All this is sensitive information & I wouldn't compromise my private data to be shared. There is a lot more which I came across but to be crisp its not safe at all!! Beware guys of such applications in market. They can misuse your data in many ways. 1 Like |
