Login Google Play Memungkinkan Pelacakan Lokasi Terselubung

September 6, 2021 by Winnie the Pooh

Cacat desain yang melibatkan Google Timeline dapat memungkinkan seseorang melacak perangkat lain tanpa menginstal aplikasi stalkerware.

Seorang peneliti menemukan bahwa seseorang dapat melacak lokasi pengguna seseorang melalui proses masuk Google Play – jalan penguntit potensial yang, sejauh ini, belum ditangani oleh raksasa internet, Google.

“Dengan bantuan Google, saya dapat ‘memata-matai’ keberadaan istri saya tanpa harus menginstal apa pun di ponselnya,” kata peneliti Malwarebytes Labs Pieter Arntz, dalam posting hari Rabu. “Dalam pembelaan saya, seluruh episode ini terjadi pada sistem operasi yang saya jauh dari ahli (Android), dan saya berusaha membantu. Tapi apa yang terjadi di luar dugaan.”

Singkatnya: Arntz masuk ke akun Google Play-nya dari ponsel istrinya, untuk membayar aplikasi yang ingin dia instal. Kemudian dia menyerahkan telepon kembali padanya, lupa untuk log out. Dan saat itulah keanehan dimulai.

Saat melihat timeline, dia mulai memperhatikan bahwa Google menandainya di tempat-tempat yang belum dia kunjungi hari itu. Setelah bertanya-tanya apakah itu kesalahan, satu pembaruan muncul dengan menunjukkan lokasi yang dia tahu pernah dikunjungi istrinya.

“Tiba-tiba, saya sadar: saya sebenarnya menerima pembaruan lokasi dari ponsel istri saya, dan juga ponsel saya,” katanya.

Berpikir bahwa keluar dari Google Play di ponsel istrinya akan menyelesaikan masalah, Arntz terkejut melihat bahwa Google secara otomatis menambahkan akunnya ke ponsel istrinya.

“Ini benar-benar metode yang mudah untuk memata-matai keberadaan seseorang,” singkat Arntz. “Plus, Anda tidak perlu menginstal apa pun dan hanya ada sedikit kemungkinan untuk ditemukan.”

Satu lagi kekhawatiran potensial, peneliti menambahkan, dan itu tidak menyenangkan:

“Sementara posting ini berbicara tentang informasi lokasi Google Maps, saya cukup yakin akan ada aplikasi lain yang ditautkan ke akun Anda daripada ke ponsel Anda,” katanya. “Aplikasi tersebut dapat dimintai informasi oleh orang lain selain pemilik ponsel jika mereka masuk ke Google Play.”
