Original Abstract

This article presents an application for demonstrating the risks of granting unsafe authorizations on Android devices. These permissions allow the application to access sensitive user data. The application uses practical examples to illustrate what user data can be abused by enabling permission. Nowadays, the security of user data is a growing topic. Therefore, mobile users themselves must be aware of the risks they expose themselves to by granting permissions.
