கள்ள மென்பொருள்கட்கு ஒரு கட்டு! Andriod security

கள்ள மென்பொருள்களையும் மறைபொருள்களைத் திருடுவதையும் இது தடுத்துவிடுமா?  பொறுத்திருந்து பார்ப்போம்.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.—Google is prepping the Android world for its next upgrade, code-named Android P, with an array of security and privacy enhancements. But even locking down a long-criticized Android privacy flaw won’t help the operating system beat its biggest security flaw: its own success.
Android P, expected to be released this fall, locks down privacy in a way no other Android version has. Until now, Android has allowed apps running in the background to access the camera and microphone without user permission. Android P will force background apps to ask for user permission before tapping into those sensors. It will also force apps to include an icon on the taskbar indicating that they are using the camera or microphone.
“That gives users a lot more control and more transparency into which apps have access to their sensors,” Xiaowen Xin, Android security product manager, said at Google’s annual I/O developer conference on May 10.
