| Titre | Piloter de nouvelles façons de protéger les utilisateurs d'Android contre la fraude financière Piloting new ways of protecting Android users from financial fraud |
| Texte | Posted by Eugene Liderman, Director of Mobile Security Strategy, Google From its founding, Android has been guided by principles of openness, transparency, safety, and choice. Android gives you the freedom to choose which device best fits your needs, while also providing the flexibility to download apps from a variety of sources, including preloaded app stores such as the Google Play Store or the Galaxy Store; third-party app stores; and direct downloads from the Internet.Keeping users safe in an open ecosystem takes sophisticated defenses. That\'s why Android provides multiple layers of protections, powered by AI and backed by a large dedicated security & privacy team, to help to protect our users from security threats while continually making the platform more resilient. We also provide our users with numerous built-in protections like Google Play Protect, the world\'s most widely deployed threat detection service, which actively scans over 125 billion apps on devices every day to monitor for harmful behavior. That said, our data shows that a disproportionate amount of bad actors take advantage of select APIs and distribution channels in this open ecosystem. Elevating app security in an open ecosystem While users have the flexibility to download apps from many sources, the safety of an app can vary depending on the download source. Google Play, for example, carries out rigorous operational reviews to ensure app safety, including proper high-risk API use and permissions handling. Other app stores may also follow established policies and procedures that help reduce risks to users and their data. These protections often include requirements for developers to declare which permissions their apps use and how developers plan to use app data. Conversely, standalone app distribution sources like web browsers, messaging apps or file managers – which we commonly refer to as Internet-sideloading – do not offer the same rigorous requirements and operational reviews. Our data demonstrates that users who download from these sources today face unusually high security risks due to these missing protections. We recently launched enhanced Google Play Protect real-time scanning to help better protect users against novel malicious Internet-sideloaded apps. This enhancement is designed to address malicious apps that leverage various methods, such as AI, to avoid detection. This feature, now deployed on Android devices with Google Play Services in India, Thailand, Singapore and Brazil, has already made a significant impact on user safety. As a result of the real-time scanning enhancement, Play Protect has identified 515,000 new malicious apps and issued more than 3.1 million warnings or blocks of those apps. Play Protect is constantly improving its detection capabilities with each identified app, allowing us to strengthen our protections for the entire Android ecosystem. A new pilot to combat financial fraud Cybercriminals continue to invest in advanced financial fraud scams, costing consumers more than $1 trillion in losses. According to the 2023 Global State of Scams Report by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance, 78 percent of mobile users surveyed experienced at least one scam in the last year. Of those surveyed, 45 percent said they\'re experiencing more scams in the last 12 months. The Global Scam Report also found that scams were most often initia |
