Key Takeaways
- Kev tshawb fawb tshiab qhia tau tias txwv kev taug qab software tseem tab tom rub tawm.
- Daim ntawv tshaj tawm pom tias cov neeg taug qab tso tawm los ntawm X-Mode, tus kws tshaj lij cov ntaub ntawv koom nrog ntau qhov kev tsis pub leej twg paub, muaj nyob hauv ntau lub apps dua li yav dhau los tau tshaj tawm.
- Cov kws tshaj lij hais tias muaj txoj hauv kev los tiv thaiv koj tus kheej los ntawm cov neeg taug qab siv cov cuab yeej software.
Tag nrho software zais hauv cov apps yuav ua raws koj txhua qhov kev txav mus los, raws li kev tshawb fawb tshiab.
Lub ExpressVPN Digital Security Lab pom tias cov neeg taug qab tso tawm los ntawm X-Mode, cov ntaub ntawv broker koom nrog ntau qhov kev tsis pub leej twg paub, muaj nyob hauv ntau lub apps dua li yav dhau los tau tshaj tawm. X-Mode trackers tau tshwm sim hauv cov apps uas tau rub tawm tsawg kawg 1 billion zaug. Cov neeg taug qab, uas tuaj yeem qhia koj qhov chaw nyob, tab tom ua rau muaj kev txhawj xeeb txog kev ceev ntiag tug.
"Ib tug neeg cov ntaub ntawv qhov chaw qhia tawm ntau ntawm lawv," Sean O'Brien, tus kws tshawb fawb tseem ceeb ntawm cybersecurity firm ExpressVPN, tau hais hauv kev xam phaj email.
"Piv txwv li, nws tuaj yeem nthuav tawm koj lub tsev nyob qhov twg, koj siv sijhawm nrog, koj nyiam, kev koom nrog nom tswv, lossis kev nyiam kev sib deev thiab kev nyiam sib tham tsuas yog raws li koj qhov chaw nyob."
Ntxhais tab sis tsis raug ntaus
Cov apps cuam tshuam suav nrog kev noj qab haus huv thiab huab cua apps, games, thiab cov duab lim dej, raws li ExpressVPN txoj kev tshawb fawb. Google thiab Apple tau txwv tsis pub X-Mode trackers vim raug liam tias muag cov ntaub ntawv taug qab rau cov tub rog. Txawm tias muaj kev txwv, ExpressVPN pom tias tsuas yog 10% ntawm cov apps no tau raug tshem tawm ntawm Google Play.
Qhov chaw soj ntsuam kev lag luam yog nyob deb, nrog ntau tus neeg ua si uas sib sau ua ke thiab sib koom ntau txhiab lab ntawm cov ntsiab lus ntawm ntau lab tus neeg siv.
Cov kev tshawb pom no yog ib feem ntawm kev kawm dav dav ntawm cov chaw taug qab los ntawm ExpressVPN Digital Security Lab. Tag nrho 450 apps ExpressVPN txheeb xyuas muaj cov lus nug tsis txaus ntseeg. Cov apps sib sau ua ke tau rub tawm tsawg kawg 1.7 billion zaug los ntawm cov neeg siv khoom thoob ntiaj teb, lub tuam txhab tau hais.
Qhov phom sij yog tias cov ntaub ntawv siphoned los ntawm cov neeg siv los ntawm cov neeg taug qab no xaus rau hauv txhais tes tsis raug, Caleb Chen, tus thawj coj ntawm lub tuam txhab kev ruaj ntseg cybersecurity Private Internet Access, tau hais hauv kev xam phaj email.
Ib qho piv txwv ntawm qhov muaj feem cuam tshuam txog kev ceev ntiag tug hauv kev taug qab software yog cov xwm txheej tsis ntev los no ntawm Muslim thov Vajtswv apps uas tau pom muaj suav nrog cov neeg taug qab los ntawm cov tuam txhab uas tau mus muag cov ntaub ntawv hais rau tsoomfwv Meskas.
"Ib tus neeg mob siab rau tuaj yeem yuav cov ntaub ntawv tsis qhia npe los ntawm cov neeg thib peb uas sau cov ntaub ntawv los ntawm cov neeg taug qab sib txawv thiab tom qab ntawd tshem tawm cov ntaub ntawv los ntawm kev cuam tshuam nrog cov ntaub ntawv sab nraud lossis tshawb nrhiav cov qauv," Chen hais.
Cov neeg taug qab yog kev lag luam loj rau cov uas ua rau lawv. O'Brien tau hais tias qhov chaw thiab cov ntaub ntawv sib thooj yog qhov tseem ceeb los tsim cov ntaub ntawv ntawm cov neeg siv khoom, lawv tus cwj pwm, thiab lawv txoj kev sib raug zoo nrog tib neeg thiab qhov chaw, O'Brien tau hais.
"Kev nkag siab los ntawm cov ntaub ntawv tau txais txiaj ntsig zoo los ntawm kev lag luam cib-thiab-mortar khw muag khoom thiab muaj txiaj ntsig thoob plaws cov haujlwm xws li kev lom zem, kev tuav pov hwm, thiab nyiaj txiag," nws hais ntxiv. "Lub chaw soj ntsuam kev lag luam yog nyob deb, nrog ntau tus neeg ua si uas sib sau ua ke thiab sib koom ntau lab ntawm cov ntaub ntawv cov ntsiab lus ntawm ntau lab tus neeg siv."
Tracker cov neeg tsim tawm zam kev txwv los ntawm kev faus tus lej sib sib zog nqus hauv ib qho app. "Qee zaum, cov neeg tsim khoom yuav tsis paub txog dab tsi software txhim kho cov khoom siv (SDKs) tau ntim rau hauv lawv cov app," O'Brien tau hais.
"Yog tias Google thiab Apple tsis muab cov ntaub ntawv txaus thiab kev tshuaj xyuas cov apps thaum lub sijhawm tshaj tawm, nws tso siab rau cov neeg tsim khoom kom nthuav tawm kev siv qhov chaw tracker SDKs."
Sib ntaus sib tua
Ib kauj ruam tseem ceeb los tawm tsam kev taug qab yog ua koj qhov kev mob siab rau ua ntej rub tawm cov apps, O'Brien tau hais. Thiab saib rau lwm cov cim qhia tias koj cov apps yuav raug nyiag rau koj, xws li cov roj teeb ntau dhau, kev sib txuas hauv network, lossis kev siv nco siab.
Nco ntsoov saib thiab txheeb xyuas cov ntawv tso cai uas koj muab rau koj cov apps.
"Piv txwv li, koj cov nuj nqis tracker app puas xav tau los taug qab qhov chaw ua haujlwm?" nws ntxiv. "Peb kuj txhawb kom cov neeg siv ua raws li peb cov lus qhia dav dav rau iPhone thiab Android kev ruaj ntseg rau cov lus qhia ntxiv txog kev tiv thaiv lawv tus kheej."
Txhawm rau tiv thaiv koj tus kheej los ntawm cov neeg taug qab, koj tuaj yeem siv cov cuab yeej software uas ua raws li tracker blockers.
Cov apps tuaj yeem ntxiv rau hauv browser, tso cai rau koj tshawb nrhiav thiab tshawb xyuas ntiag tug thoob plaws txhua yam ntawm koj lub cuab yeej, Nat Maple, tus thawj coj ua lag luam ntawm cybersecurity tuam txhab BullGuard, tau hais hauv kev xam phaj email."Ib txhia ntawm cov cuab yeej no ceeb toom cov neeg siv yog tias lawv tab tom taug qab thiab tseem tshem tawm keeb kwm tshawb nrhiav," nws ntxiv.
Maple tau hais tias nws tseem ceeb sib npaug los siv lub network ntiag tug virtual (VPN), uas tau zais koj qhov chaw nyob hauv internet tiag tiag, qhov tseem ceeb ua rau koj tsis qhia npe online. "Koj qhov kev txav tseem tuaj yeem taug qab," nws hais ntxiv. "Tab sis tus tracker tsis paub koj tus kheej lossis qhov chaw tseeb."
