HMV-01: Automatically generated screenshots

1. July 2019

Description

Screenshots of applications that are moved to the background are created for better user experience. Unfortunately, other apps can access them, exposing sensitive data such as banking information, passwords, or personal information.

Example

All applications in the background can be viewed (screen shots).

Countermeasures

Use the FLAG_SECURE to hide the screen when an app is put into hang mode. This will only display a black placeholder.
