Study: jailbreak apps upload less private data than Apple approved apps
The app development world went into a frenzy, when social network app Path was caught uploading user’s address book information without asking for permission last week. We’ve already given our view on the matter, but yesterday, Forbes reported on a study by University of California at Santa Barbara that found Cydia apps leak private data less than apps available on the iTunes App Store.
The group built a tool called PiOS that analyzes iOS apps for private data leaks. They looked at a total of 1,407 free apps, 825 of which were downloaded from the App Store and 526 of which were downloaded from Cydia’s biggest repository, the BigBoss repo.
