What's in an Ad? Connor Leonhardt

Mobile App Ads Usually found in free or trial versions of mobile apps. Generate revenue for developers, who promise to remove ads if you buy a full version. Many access user location to generate ads for nearby businesses.

Security risk? Ads may come from Google, Apple, or even third-party groups. Ad libraries receive the same permissions that the user granted to the app itself when installed. Ad libraries can bypass security measures and access user information. Ad libraries are embedded directly into apps.

How affects the user. Privacy Malicious code Ads may access personal data or track user by GPS to better target ads toward user. Malicious code Ads could steal information like passwords or other data from user.

How to fix this? Remove ads entirely Developers lose revenue gained from ads May not have free apps anymore, only paid apps to generate revenue for developers. Thoroughly inspect the code of all ads to ensure no malicious intent. Time-consuming Code can easily be altered later. Isolate ads from apps Do not have same permissions as apps. Ads cannot install new code after installation without permission.
