Happy to make an official announcement on a feature that I worked on with some colleagues that launched last year. @AndroidDev have an important role in keeping the @Android ecosystem safe and sometimes they just need a little nudge! security.googleblog.com/2020…

This is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in learning about app reverse engineering / pre-installed apps on Android.
Here are the slides from my @BlackHatEvents talk on reversing Android pre-installed apps & case studies of pre-installed security issues! #BHUSA github.com/maddiestone/ConPr…

In Android P we made cleartext traffic opt-in, at I/O today we showed the stats on opt-in rate (80% of apps didn't opt back in). Thanks @BramBonne for doing the analysis. youtube.com/watch?feature=yo…

Finally! You can auto-delete your Google activity & location history data after a certain period of time. That's a big deal: I don't think another product from a big tech company with that feature. I'm certainly looking forward to Twitter implementing it! bgr.com/2019/05/01/google-lo…
