手机山寨App乱象惊人：最多背后达3000个盗版 - 安卓应用,盗版应用,App - IT资讯

今年央视3·15消费者权益晚会上，曝光了恶意APP是如何侵害消费者权益的，这些恶意程序大多存在偷耗流量、推送恶意广告、消耗资费、窃取隐私等行为。有数据显示，2015年，安卓手机平台上新增恶意程序样本1874.0万个，比2013年、2014年分别增长27.9倍、5.7倍，同时，众多恶意APP都模仿正版APP，每个正版APP背后会有近百个盗版。据统计，目前安卓平台盗版应用中，游戏类占比17%，软件类占比83%。应用中，而一款下载量超过5000万的APP，市场上就会出现至少700种各式各样的山寨货，最多的一个正版APP竟然出现了3000多个盗版。

广州市民李女士对记者表示，她在一家应用商店里面下载了一款消消乐的手机游戏，但安装之后，自己的手机就不断“死机、重启”，而且还不断弹出互联网金融理财的广告。最后到手机售后维修店，技术人员告诉李女士，她安装的并非正版APP，且被黑客植入恶意代码。

危害：

主要瞄准用户“钱包”

据了解，目前使用智能手机已经可以进行各种移动支付，因此信息安全专家表示，模仿正版APP的盗版应用，主要目标还是用户的“钱包”。数据显示，研究人员对调研发现的127011个恶意盗版APP进行特征分析，发现其中木马类盗版应用占比最高，为71%，其次是广告类占比26%。而木马类盗版APP恶意扣费行为，占比28%，该种恶意盗版APP会在未经用户允许的情况下，私自发送短信和扣费指令，对用户的手机资费造成损失；再次是资费消耗行为，占比26%。

该种恶意盗版APP会在用户不知情或未授权的情况下，通过自动拨打电话、发送短信、彩信、邮件、频繁连接网络等方式，导致用户资费的损失植入木马、病毒成为恶意盗版经常使用的手段，用户一旦安装这类APP，有的会被垃圾信息和广告骚扰，甚至会导致隐私信息泄露、恶意扣费、流量损失等危害。

专家说法：不要轻易下载安装APP

面对目前安卓手机上存在盗版APP现象，信息安全专家介绍，盗版APP已经超过除了模仿、山寨的范围，不但可能造成用户财产损失，同时也侵犯了正版APP开发者的知识产权。据悉，很多盗版APP，连名字都不改，直接修改若干代码，插入病毒、广告、木马等，窃取用户信息，牟取不当利益。

而对于用户如何防范，信息安全专家表示，普通用户下载APP软件前，先判断一下来源，对于来源不明的APP不要轻易下载，下载后，最好再进行专业工具扫描，确定是否有病毒。同时，对于APP开发者，业内提醒要及时申请专利著作权保护，避免泄露。
