Google is finally doing something about all these malicious apps that take advantage of accessibility features?

In an article I spotted today in Kim Komando’s newsletter, Google is finally doing something about all these malicious apps tht Google apparently has that take advantage of the accessibility features of Android.

Google is banning this popular type of app from the Play Store is the article title and is worth a read.

Here is one blog post that talked about this problem. Those people who need accesibility features are those who need the phone to talk, magnified or braille support. It is not meant, says Kim’s article, to record calls, turn on the camera, exfiltrate data or anything else of that nature. While I added a few of these to that list, we know that that article is not the only one I’ve covered about android accessibility issues.

I’m sure I’ve talked about this in podcasts, and this … I think is a welcome sign for those who want Android because its cheaper.

Thoughts are welcome.
