Facebook and Twitterhave been rocked by Malicious Android Software Development Kits(SDKs) after the Cambridge Analytica Scandal. These SDKs integrated with thousands of Android apps through the connected social media accounts(Facebook&Twitter) and illegally accessed the user’s personal data.
Twitter found out that an SDK developed by OneAudience contains a privacy-breaching code. This enabled the malicious android SDK to transfer some personal data of its user’s to the OneAudience servers. Similarly, Facebook is investigating an SDK from Mobiburn. This Android SDK is alleged to have sharedthe user data to data collection firms through certain Facebook-connected apps.
