­(original title: Android system Gospel: Google steps in to crack down on applications that steal user data)

At present, in the Google Play App Store, there are still apps that can steal user data. In this regard, Google finally can not sit still, decided to step in to carry out a vigorous crackdown.

It is understood that a software called "SonicSpy" can steal users' personal data from mobile phones, and can also record audio, take pictures with cameras, make phone calls and send text messages.

In addition, this type of application is usually disguised as a messaging application, which the average user cannot tell at all. Such applications can steal personal privacy information such as call records, contacts, wireless access points, and so on.

More frightening is that after users install related applications, such as SonicSpy, it can automatically delete icons from the application list and secretly download and install a series of malicious applications in the background, thus allowing attackers to gain control of the device.

­Google said that it has removed the relevant applications and will strengthen its management in this area in the future. However, most domestic users can avoid this situation.
