Study Notes
Malware and Unexpected Behavior
- Downloading a spoofed application can lead to potential consequences, such as malware infections, data breaches, and compromised system security.
- A seemingly functional game may cause a system to slow down due to malicious activities running in the background, consuming system resources, and hindering performance.
Trojan Games and Permissions
- Trojan games can be used to secretly collect user data, track behavior, or inject malware into the system, making them a potential threat to user privacy and security.
- An application requesting unnecessary permissions may indicate unexpected behavior, such as malicious activities, data theft, or unauthorized access to system resources.
Unexpected Behavior and Data Utilization
- Unexpected application behavior can include sudden slowdowns, unusual network traffic, or unauthorized access to system resources, indicating potential malware or security threats.
- Excessively high network traffic can indicate malware or unauthorized activities, such as data theft or transmission of sensitive information.
- Reaching data utilization limits on a smartphone can indicate excessive data consumption, potentially due to malware or unauthorized activities.
Legitimate Access Requests and Data Speed
- A video chat program requesting access to the camera and microphone is a legitimate request, necessary for its functionality.
- A sudden decrease in data speed, even with an unlimited data plan, can be due to network congestion, malware, or unauthorized activities consuming bandwidth.
Network Traffic and Security
- Excessive network traffic on a device can indicate potential security threats, such as malware, data theft, or unauthorized access to system resources.
- An application requesting access to the microphone and camera in a game may indicate malicious activities, such as data theft or unauthorized surveillance.
- Detecting excessive network traffic is significant because it can help identify potential security threats, allowing users to take action to protect their devices and data.
