• Abstract: Due to the continuous improvement of performance and functions, Android remains the most popular operating system on mobile phone today. However, various malicious applications bring great threats to the system. Over the past few years, significant changes occured in both malwares and counter measures. Specifically, malwares are continuously evolving, and advanced approaches are adopted for more accurate detection. To keep up with the latest situation, in this paper, we conduct a wide range of analysis, including latest malwares, Android security features, and approaches. We also provide some finding when we are gathering information and carrying on experiments, which we think is useful for further researches and has not been mentioned in previous works.

  We show that unsolicited calls are in slow decline, though complaints and call volumes remain high. We find that robocallers have managed to adapt to STIR/SHAKEN, a mandatory call authentication scheme. In total, our findings highlight the most promising directions for future efforts to characterize and stop telephone spam.

  We analyze 10 influential research works on Android malware detection using a common evaluation framework. We identify five factors that, if not taken into account when creating datasets and designing detectors, significantly affect the trained ML models. We conclude that the studied ML-based detectors have been evaluated optimistically, which justifies the good published results.

  In this paper, we examine the trends in how Android apps have changed over time with respect to privacy. We examine the adoption of HTTPS, whether apps scan the device for other installed apps, the use of permissions for privacy-sensitive data, and the use of unique identifiers. We find that privacy-related behavior has improved with time as apps continue to receive updates, and that the third-party libraries used by apps are responsible for more issues with privacy.
