App caught recording audio without user's knowledge


Generally, if we want to download any app in our Android phone, it is imperative to download it from Google or the official app store of the phone manufacturing company. Because the apps in such app stores go through a strict security check. Apart from the official app store, Android phones can also download and install apps directly from various sources. But doing so is dangerous. Due to the high importance of security in Apple's iPhone, apps cannot be downloaded from sources other than Apple's own App Store.

However, especially in Android, it often happens that even the app that has passed the security test in Google's Playstore turns out to be dangerous for users! Now Google removed one such app from play store. This screen recording app was first launched in the Play Store in 2021. With its help, people could capture the screen of the phone. An update came in this app after a year or so. Now it turned out that after the app was updated, along with it, a malware was entering the phone through the app , which was recording audio without the knowledge of the users and then forwarding it to the remote server of the app company! This app was basically a screen recorder app so the permissions it asked for included permission to record audio. But after the app was updated, the app started recording audio without the user's knowledge! The app in the play store is also checked for security every time it is updated , but in this case there was a loophole somewhere!

New delhi date. 30 June 2020, Tuesday It was a fateful morning. People saw a very bright and intense light on the earth just like the sun. Ten minutes later a loud explosion was heard. This was a huge explosion. Witnesses said the blast was so powerful that the ground shook like an earthquake. Hundreds of kilometers away, the windows of people's houses were broken. About 80 million trees were uprooted within a distance of two and a half thousand kilometers. As if the abyss had not been broken. This horrific event was caused by the collision of a huge asteroid (meteorite) with the Earth. The collision caused an 8 km deep pit to fall into the ground. This place has been deserted for more than a hundred years. Even today no tree or plant can grow here. This event is considered to be the largest asteroid collision in history.
