防不胜防：每个流行APP都有上百个山寨版 - 盗版,山寨 - IT资讯
现在用智能手机的人越来越多，每个智能手机里都会有十几个甚至几十个APP。那问题来了：当每次安装软件时，你能确定即将安装的软件安全吗？不少消费者面对图标、文字一模一样的山寨APP，一不留神就会掉入陷阱。
山寨APP通过盗用正版图标、文字普通人无法辨真伪
目前，市场上时常会出现图标、文字几乎完全一样的几款APP。如果不是正版软件标有“官方版”字样，普通人根本无法分辨真伪。而盗版软件通过盗用正版软件图标，变造软件名称，更是轻松变身成为一款山寨软件。
▲真假“捕鱼达人”，正版APP的名称下方有“官方版”认证
▲真假“通话变声器”，图标完全一致，仅名称略有变化
专家介绍称，安卓手机是山寨软件的重灾区。虽然消费者多是从手机中预装的应用商店搜索安装软件，但当应用商店没有自己所需软件时，上网搜索就成为安装软件的主要渠道。对此，有消费者告诉记者，“（搜索软件时）一般都搜到第一个，然后就下载用了，别的没太注意。”
事实上，山寨软件的危害并不亚于木马病毒。消费者误装后，有的手机开始自动接收弹窗广告，导致数据流量暴增，有的山寨软件则直接盗取个人隐私信息。
金融类山寨APP多含木马病毒 窃取用户账号密码
根据最新发布的《2015年安卓手机应用盗版情况调研报告》，盗版游戏APP占到整个盗版软件市场的17%，而剩下超过八成的盗版APP则全部是各类应用软件，其中金融理财和医疗美容类应用软件是山寨APP的重灾区。在被调查的1万多款流行正版软件中，平均每个正版软件都会有近百个山寨软件，有相当比例的软件属于恶意盗版软件。
其中，含有木马病毒的软件占到71.37%，这类软件主要是各类银行客户端、网上理财产品。科技金融业内人士申磊表示，主要有两点值得关注：第一，要选择非山寨的移动应用；第二，收益率普遍在15%以上的平台，可能就存在一定风险，需要投资者高度警惕。
此外，还有金融类盗版APP直接把黑手伸向了机主的银行账号和密码。手机软件安全技术人员表示，“当用户输入（账号、密码）完成点击登录后，实际上（这类APP）后台会发送短信，将用户输入的手机号码、登录密码进行拦截，之后以短信形式发送到攻击者那边。
专家告诉记者，这类山寨APP软件，经常出现在各类破解软件论坛、贴吧，并通过链接形式免费下载。一些网络黑客正是利用了这些所谓被破解软件的系统漏洞，编写含有恶意代码的山寨软件，引诱手机用户下载。
医疗美容类山寨APP多含诱导广告
除了含木马病毒，还有一部分恶意软件是内含广告的山寨软件。这些软件大多打着医疗美容、生活购物信息平台的旗号，通过手机强制推送付费商家广告。这些软件不但迅速消耗手机流量，甚至还会通过误导信息引诱消费者消费。
中国整形美容协会互联网分会常务理事金星表示，如果是山寨的软件，里面会有很多内容是有诱导性。而正规的医美APP还是相对客观，好就是好，不好就是不好。
