Some popular third-party BlackBerry 10 apps need to improve their security
As BlackBerry users, we’ve become accustomed to a certain level of comfort when it comes to installing apps and not worrying about what’s going on behind the scenes security wise. The BlackBerry 10 OS allows us to adjust permissions on native apps on the fly, and if we see something happening we don’t like, we can usually shut it down or disable it.
But at the same time, that comfort in security can often have bad results, as well as we’re likely to think just a little bit less about what’s going on deep within some of the apps we install. A new report coming from Lloyd Summers over at File Archive Haven is a stark reminder to not forget about these things.
File Archive Haven has put together a test of 12 applications in an effort to dig deeper into web security for those apps and while some popular apps came out unscathed, some weren’t so lucky and showed plenty of room for improvement in the security area.
