Apple has a reputation for being very demanding in relation to the security of their devices. So much, that he refuses even to help the FBI and the u.s. authorities in investigations involving possible evidence within the devices of the victims and the suspects. The main allegation is that a breach of security and ease of access to the sign-in appliances of the customers could be harmful to the future of the iOS system and the privacy of the users if hackers found and used this possibility to make invasions. In addition, the iOS system is known for being practically immune to viruses.
Occurs that a recent survey puts a “but” very large in this story. Researchers from the company’s digital security Zscaler found that it is easier to get browsing data of users of the system iOS’s that people who use smartphones with Android.
Applications that run on Android that have passed by operation of cloud of the company of digital security, the leaked data of the user in 0.3% of cases. However, the percentage is a little higher when talking on the smartphones produced by Apple. Users ‘ data leaked was in 0.5% of cases when the same test was applied in the iOS system.
Both are not great numbers, point out the researchers, which is primarily for location information that are shared. A small part of the data that was leaked has been found to be personally identifiable information, classified as “PII”. In this regard, incidentally, the Android and iOS differ again. the has Been registered to 0.2% of the leaks iOS included personal data, while in Android the share was 3%.
See graphs that show the differentiation between the type of data leaked:
The survey also shows that 50% of the app developer, whether for Android or iOS, not very much concerned with the security of the information that might leak out.
