BlackBerry associate to the world of security, and Android, including the applications written for the system, on the contrary. What can come out of such a connection, especially now, when we have access to virtually the full range of Google Play
It turns out that nothing good, at least when it comes to the safety of certain system components. But before we start to panic, you should reassure all – at the moment it is difficult to do yourself harm.
problem was detected by Frank Büttner with ABS Team and relates to access applications from the Android contacts, which theoretically should not have access. According to his research, and subsequent experiments, users, programs such as Skype or Go Launcher EX have access to contacts with the business part of the phone (with the active BES and distribution of Work / Personal), even though setting the appropriate configuration options, theoretically exclude such a possibility.
Users do not have a connection to the BES does not have such a problem – their phone is in the end only one (simplified) address book, possibly containing entries from various sources (iCloud, Gmail, etc..). For BES users, on the phone, there may be two independent address books, where from the private mode, with appropriate settings, there should be access to the parts business. Thanks to our corporate data can be independent of what happens in private mode, so do not be sensitive to our eventual madness on the installation of software from different sources.
error is at the same time so severe that Android applications should have absolutely no access to official data mode. You can not even install it.
BlackBerry officially confirmed that such a problem exists and should be resolved soon in the next update of the software.
