TapTrap: Animation‑Driven Tapjacking on Android

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-05 00:55:19

TapTrap is a new type of attack targeting Android devices. It allows an app without any permissions to misuse screen animations. This app can secretly open another screen, such as a permission prompt, and make it invisible. The attack can then be used to trick you into performing sensitive actions, such as granting camera permissions or even erasing your device, without your consent. The idea is simple: imagine you’re using an app. While you use it, it opens another screen, such as a system pro

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority It isn’t often that something entirely new crops up in the gaming space. Nintendo is the only player still innovating when it comes to handhelds, but even then the evolution from the Wii U in 2012 to the Nintendo Switch 2 released just a few months ago feels far more iterative than say, the leap from the Game Boy to the Nintendo DS. Then there’s the ONEXSUGAR SUGAR 1. With two screens, folding controllers, and more power than nearly any other Android gaming h

If you're concerned about how durable Samsung's foldable phones are, I'm here to tell you not to worry. And that's especially true when it comes to the new Galaxy Z Flip 7, which holds its own among today's best smartphones. After less than six hours with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, I accidentally performed my own informal drop test.
