Re: It's the microphone, not the browser
I found an advertising SDK inside a pre-installed Android app that could:
Determine the users location
Access and read anything the user had copied or pasted to the clipboard
Access and record with the devices microphone
Access the devices text-to-speech functions to both record and vocalize and also access any custom words the user added.
What was even more disturbing is that the advertising SDK was found inside an app that millions of people have installed thinking it would protect themselves from things like this.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
