Introduction¶
As we face an unprecedented situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, various actors have developed mobile applications, which are designed to:
- track the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic;
- provide information, advice and online medical consultations;
- track people’s movements
- trace the contacts of people who have tested positiv for COVID-19
Defensive Lab Agency actively tracks new Android applications that are published in response to COVID-19 and analyses them for security and privacy.
The following reports have been conducted through a static analysis using our platform Aether. We use Exodus Privacy's library to detect trackers that apps use.
Warning
Aether static analyses of apps can reveal what trackers are embedded in an application. It can also reveal which permissions the application requires in order to correctly operate on your smartphone and what are operations the app could execute. A static analysis can not provide conclusive evidence whether app features listed in reports are actually used in practice.
