The ‘State of Security in the App Ecomomy: Mobile Apps’ report comes from security vendor Arxan Technologies and tackles how the prevalence of “cracked” mobile apps can compromise brands and affect revenues. The report studied 230 top apps -- including the Top 100 Paid apps on Android and iOS -- and found that 92% of iOS apps have been hacked, with this rising to an incredible 100% on the Android platform. Free apps weren’t immune from attacks either, as Arxan found that 40% of popular free iOS apps had been hacked, with this rising to 80% for apps running Google's operating system. |
