When a bank is robbed, the loot will often contain a wad of manipulated banknotes. These will explode en route and release a colorful dye, marking the money as stolen. Researchers use a similar principle to identify spyware on smartphones. Computer scientists have now developed a matching application for the current version of the Android smartphone operating system, allowing for a more precise monitoring of malicious apps.
