French researchers have found a way to scan Android apps on connections with advertising and tracking sites. The result is at least a little questionable. 2000 investigated apps communicated to each other with no less than 250,000 websites. A large part led ‘normal’ to Google’s advertising program, but some refer to tracking sites on more than 800 addresses at a time.
You really worry do not yet immediately. Only a small number of the 2,000 applications made access to suspicious sites. The researchers used the somewhat outdated Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, while the latest version of Lollipop in a piece should have fewer problems. Advertisements are no reason not to pull in more free apps, but it shows again that a little attention certainly is in place.
