A recent analysis of the 150 top Android apps by Norwegian cybersecurity firm Promon found that 144 of them could be successfully configured to operate within the controlled testing environment of the reverse engineering tool Frida. Only three of the apps tested actively detected Frida’s presence and shut down or limited functionality.
What does that mean? Well, it means that roughly 97% of the most popular Android apps are vulnerable to exploitation by threat actors and have a security gap that needs to be addressed.
