Loophole Could Give Android Devs a Private Picture Show

by Richard Adhikari

The problem is that an Adriod app was taking a recent picture from the users picture library and post it on the internet. How this app worked was that when the user installed the app it would ask for internet access. When the user agreed the app then went into the picture library on the user's phone and took the most recent photo and posted it on a public photo-sharing site. The user had no idea that this app was posting personal photos on the web for every one to see.
