It recommends integrating continuous security testing into the development lifecycle and protecting application logic such as payment flows, authentication mechanisms, and proprietary algorithms. ### Source excerpt Mobile app security rarely breaks in a single place. Instead, it fails across layers that were never designed to work together. ## Why OS-Level Security Isn't Enough for Mobile Apps | Guardsquare DevFeed: [Why OS-Level Security Isn't Enough for Mobile Apps | Guardsquare]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Simon Haven - Product Marketing Manager Published: 2026-07-14T12:36:57Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Guardsquare Blog]() Topics: [Mobile Security](), [Application Security](), [Security](), [Android](), [iOS](), [Reverse Engineering]() Tags: [android](), [application-security](), [attacks](), [dexguard](), [general](), [ios](), [ixguard](), [mobile-security](), [os](), [reverse-engineering](), [security]() ### AI overview The article argues that Android and iOS security protections primarily protect devices and users, but do not comprehensively verify whether mobile application code remains trustworthy after deployment. It recommends dedicated mobile application security alongside operating-system protections to reduce risks such as reverse engineering and runtime tampering. ### Source excerpt Since day one, Google and Apple have integrated security features into their respective operating systems, Android and iOS. However, as mobile devices have grown to become near ubiquitous, so, too, have the attacks targeting them. In 2025, 43% of surveyed organizations cited mobile app threats as a top contributor to mobile security breaches, according to a report by Verizon. In response, Google and Apple have continued introducing stronger and more refined security tools and features with each new release. ## How Android helps keep you safe from impersonation scams with fake call detection DevFeed: [How Android helps keep you safe from impersonation scams with fake call detection]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Oren Schetrit Published: 2026-06-02T18:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Security]() Topics: [spoofing]() Tags: [ai](), [android](), [android-security](), [attacks](), [audio](), [fraud](), [mobile-security](), [none](), [scams](), [spoof](), [voice](), [voice-cloning]() ### AI overview Android introduces fake call detection to flag suspected spoofed calls between contacts using Phone by Google, aiming to counter AI voice-cloning impersonation scams. ### Source excerpt Warning that says 'someone may be pretending to call from your contact's number' ## Mobile app permissions (still) matter more than you may think DevFeed: [Mobile app permissions (still) matter more than you may think]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Phil Muncaster Published: 2026-02-27T10:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [WeLiveSecurity]() Topics: [Security](), [Authorization](), [Android](), [iOS](), [App](), [data]() Tags: [android](), [app](), [data](), [developers](), [ios](), [mobile](), [mobile-security](), [privacy](), [security]() ### AI overview This article explains how mobile app permissions control access to device data and features on Android and iOS. It describes normal and dangerous Android permissions, runtime consent, newer multi-step requests, and the privacy and security risks of granting apps excessive access. ### Source excerpt Start using a new app and you'll often be asked to grant it permissions. But blindly accepting them could expose you to serious privacy and security risks. ## Android Security: mobsfscan DevFeed: [Android Security: mobsfscan]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Matthew Dolan Published: 2026-01-16T17:51:35Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Stories by Matthew Dolan on Medium]() Topics: [Android Security](), [Mobile Security](), [Security](), [GitHub Actions](), [CI/CD](), [GitHub](), [Docker Image]() Tags: [android-app-development](), [android-security](), [androiddev](), [build-secure-apps](), [ci-cd](), [docker-image](), [github](), [github-actions](), [mobile-security](), [security]() ### AI overview A tutorial on using the free, open-source mobsfscan tool to detect insecure code patterns in mobile applications.

It praises Open Whisper Systems for developing a fresh approach to challenging mobile security problems and for addressing the poor usability and legacy constraints common in privacy software. ### Source excerpt Winter Break Of Code Day Thirteen My ten-year-old mind was completely blown when I realized that I could eavesdrop on the walkie-talkie conversations of the other kids in my neighborhood. I rode my bike to the library in stunned silence, found a book about codes and puzzles, and raced home to my computer. I reluctantly transformed QBasic into something other than a conduit for modified games of NIBBLES.BAS and GORILLA.BAS, and wrote a Caesar cipher implementation that worked in both directions. That ended up being the easy part.

It invites people to support the project through bug reports and fixes, language translations, user documentation, and the mailing list. ### Source excerpt Whisper Systems was a company focused on the development of mobile security software, which was acquired by Twitter in late 2011. Twitter very generously made some of the Whisper Systems software available under an Open Source license (GPLv3), which has since been under open development by the community. The software has seen a number of new releases based on that open development, and we've been calling the project for this continued work "Open Whisper Systems." Welcome to the project's new home.
