Abstract :
Recently, the number of mobile malware is rapidly growing. In order to cope with mobile malware, the detection and response method of rooting attack is actively studied. However, the damages caused information leakage and financial charge can be occurred without rooting attack. In this paper, we have shown through experiments that it is possible to conduct DDoS attacks, privacy information leakage, and illegal financial charging without rooting attacks, and analyzed security vulnerabilities and threats in detail.
