Phone battery a new security threat

Specialize in information security researchers revealed the possibility of the use of smart phone batteries to spy on users to track their movement through the Internet, even if they were careful to adhere to the smallest instructions privacy.

The researchers reviewed the research in their paper the possibility of using technology program "HTML5", used in the foundation for electronic recognize the rest of the energy in the phone batteries sites.

However, this information can be used in another way so as to allow the identification of the same quality phones and monitor the movement of their owners over the Internet, according to specialized reports.

And it increases the risk of this great threat to privacy that each of the websites or programs do not need in their work to find out what the rest of the energy in the battery to the permission or authorization from the same user, and the secret browsing techniques across anonymity can not limit the risk of security holes related to the battery.

Researchers Lucas Oonejak and Gunes Acar and Claude Castalochaa and Claudia Diaz recommended in research their paper the need for the user to grant at least the possibility of forcing the sites to request his permission first before knowing the status of the battery, also recommended the importance of user-defined and given more information on the work of checking the battery status Programs mechanism.
