It's not at all surprising that the Google Play Store is surrounded by a number of malicious applications that may gain users' attention to fall victim for one, but this time it might be even worse than you thought. Threat researchers from security firm ESET have discovered a malicious Facebook-Credentials- Stealing Trojan masquerading as an Android game that has been downloaded by more than a Million Android users. Malicious Android Apps downloaded 50,000-1,000,000 times The Android game, dubbed " Cowboy Adventure ," and another malicious game, dubbed " Jump Chess" – downloaded up to 50,000 times, have since been removed from Google Play Store. However, before taking them off from the app store, the creepy game apps may have compromised an unknown number of victims' Facebook credentials. Both the games were created by the same software developer, Tinker Studio and both were used to gather social media credentials from unsuspecting users. How Cowboy Adventure victimizes Android users? Once installed, Cowboy Adventure produced a fake Facebook login window that prompted users to enter their Facebook usernames along with their passwords. A practice known as OAuth in which a 3rd party asks your Facebook login. However, if users provide their credentials to Cowboy Adventure app, the malicious code within the game app allegedly sent their credentials to the attacker's server.[b]It's not at all surprising that the Google Play Store is surrounded by a number of malicious applications that may gain users' attention to fall victim for one, but this time it might be even worse than you thought.

However, if users provide their credentials to Cowboy Adventure app, the malicious code within the game app allegedly sent their credentials to the attacker's server. Therefore, If you have downloaded Cowboy Adventure or Jump Chess, you should immediately change not alone your Facebook password, but any service that uses the same combination of username and password as your Facebook account. ESET senior security researcher Robert Lipovsky believes that the app malicious behavior is not just a careless mistake of the game developer, but the developer is actually a criminal minded. Take Away A few basic tips that you should always keep in your mind are: Always download apps from official sources, such as Google Play Store or Apple's App Store. Read reviews from other users before downloading an app (Many users complained about "Cowboy Adventure" that the game locked them out of Facebook accounts). Always use two-factor authentication on services that makes it harder for hackers to access your accounts with just your password. Always keep a malware scanning software from trusted vendors like Avast, AVG, ESET, Kaspersky and Bitdefender, on your smartphone. source: thehackernews.com/2015/07/android-malware-game.html?m=1

Top 10 amazing facts about Google’s Android operating system which most users dont know Android, the worlds mostly widely used smartphone operating System is growing day by day with its highly enriched user interface and extensively used mobile applications. Some are using it as platform to develop applications while the others use it as one of source which connects them with their friends and relatives due to its highly customizable and user friendly applications. So it can rather be said that Android is dominating the mobile market. But there are certain facts about android which users should be aware as they are using the Google based android applications. Android was not founded by Google The Android operating system was founded by Andy Rubin, Chris White, Nick Sears and Rich Miner under the umbrella Android Inc. It was established in October 2003. Android was later acquired by Google who had been backing the company all along. The deal was struck in August 2005 at a price of $50 million. Google marketed the platform to handset makers and carriers on the promise of providing a flexible, upgradable system. Google launched Android in 2007 Google officially launched the operating system in November 2007. The operating system had initially been developed for cameras but Google saw a potential in the usage of the OS on smartphones and worked on a lot more features that you can see now. So Google saw it as potential opportunity to establish its impact on market by making it a platform for newer version of Smartphone. Android was initially developed only for digital cameras Android operating system was developed as a platform for digital cameras. But Google later changed its focus to smart phones as it saw its potential. So Google decided to go on and adopt Android OS for smartphones which has created a revolution in smartphones as it was widely accepted and easily accessible. HTC Dream – First Android Smartphone The first publicly used phone to run Android was HTC Dream. The HTC Dream was first released in October 2008. The device used the Linux-based Android operating system by Google. It used Android version 1.0 and was upgradable till 1.6. The Android operating system on the device was criticized for lack of functionality and software in comparison to certain established platforms like Nokia’s proprietary Symbian OS but was still considered to be innovative. Android has more than a billion users Google’s Vice President for Android, Sundar Pichai, announced that the Android operating system has powered hundreds of millions of mobile devices in more than 190 countries around the world. It’s the largest installed base of any mobile platform and growing fast—every day another million user’s power up their Android devices for the first time and start looking for apps, games, and other digital content. Android Version Names Apart from Android 1.0 and 1.1, all other Android versions have been named after sweet treats or desserts. These codenames are chosen alphabetically, and have thus far all been dessert items. Some codenames are associated with more than one version number, while others are limited to only a specific one. The reason for this inconsistency is not currently known. The naming typically appears to correspond to changes in the developer API levels, but this is not always true (example: 3.0 and 3.1 are both “Honeycomb” but they have different API levels). The names of different versions are :- Cupcake: Android 1.5 Donut: Android 1.6 Eclair: Android 2.0 Android 2.1 Froyo: ( short for “frozen yogurt” ) Android 2.2 Gingerbread: Android 2.3 Honeycomb: Android 3.0 Android 3.1 Android 3.2 Ice Cream Sandwich: Android 4.0 Jelly Bean: Android 4.1 Android 4.2 Android 4.3 KitKat: Android 4.4 Lolipop: Android 5.0 Android 5.1 Android Naming Order Android versions have been following an alphabetical order in their naming and upgrades but many users have failed to notice this. 1. A for Astro (1.0) 2. B for Bender (1.1) 3. C for Cupcake (1.5) 4. D for Donut (1.6) 5. E for Eclair (2.0) 6. F for Froyo (2.2.x) 7. G for Gingerbread (2.3.x) 8. H for Honeycomb (3.x) 9. I for Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.x) 10. J for Jelly Bean (4.3) 11. K for KitKat (4.4) 12. L for Lollipop (5.0) Open marketplace for distributing your apps With Google being a member of Open Handset Alliance (OHA), Android has given users or interested party right access to modify the source code of the operating system. Android was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of the specs that a handset has to offer. It can be liberally extended to incorporate new cutting edge technologies as they emerge. The platform will continue to evolve as the developer community works together to build innovative mobile applications. This has allowed users and smartphone manufacturer’s great flexibility in adding features to the operating system. This also enables OEM’s to develop their skinned versions. Android is open source Google offers Android operating system to smartphone manufacturers without payment for its license. This is one of the major advantages of Android which had attracted users as a platform to innovate more new apps based on it. Google gains from Android Despite offering the Android software open sourced to smartphone manufacturers, Google will likely achieve its aim of becoming the mobile advertising king through Android devices. Google makes its biggest revenue from advertising and this will pay off in the big way with the users from PCs to smartphones and tablets. It must be noted that Android dominates both categories. So all done. Do you find these facts interesting? If you know any other Android fact we left out, you can comment below. |

Windows 10 Build 10051 Gets New Email App, Google Calendar Support Added Looks like Microsoft is in a hurry to meet its summer 2015 deadline for Windows 10 release. Today a leaked version of Windows 10 Build 10051 arrived which reveals the amount of work Microsoft engineers have been putting to meet the release date. Windows 10 build 10051 is now available for download from a number of file-sharing websites. Right now, this new build is only available as a stand-alone ISO and only in English and there’s no indication that additional versions could be released. Whats new with Windows Build 10051 The biggest change over the earlier Windows 10 build 10049 is the new Email App. The new Mail app features a more modern look and although it’s optimized for touch, it can also be used on a PC with a mouse and a keyboard. A hamburger button in the top left corner allows users to browse email folders and accounts, while tabs to change the format of a new email, insert objects, and review the message before sending have also been added. Reports indicate that this Email app may be precursor to the full fledged new Outlook App which Microsoft is planning to release with the future release of Microsoft Office. Another addition is the Google Calendar support to its own Calendar App. Till now such support was missing in Windows 8.1 as well as Windows 10 technical previews however many users had requested Microsoft to add Google Calendar support in the final Windows 10 so Microsoft seems to be trying it out. A Google Calendar account can be added easily from the add new account screen and it works just like any other calendar that has been configured in the app. We cant provide any download links for this Windows 10 Build 10051 as it has not been officially released. However you can search popular file sharing networks for the build. |
