After phone-makers, Alibaba's UC Browser comes under govt scanner over data leakage

Indian government has commenced an investigation on popular mobile app Alibaba-owned UC Browser over possible leakage of sensitive user data to a remote server in China.

The Indian government has commenced probe on Hangzhou-based Alibaba's UC Web browser over possible data leakages to a remote server in China.

Popular mobile application UC Web Browser, which has more than 50 percent market share is accused of diverting a massive amount of user search details and also sensitive data such as device identifiers like IMSI (international mobile subscriber identity), IMEI (international mobile equipment identity) numbers and location information to a remote server in China.


Furthermore, UC Web Browser is also said to be accumulating Wi-Fi's access point's network information when user's phone connects to the internet via a wireless router and sending that information to China.

This is a very serious allegation as UC Browser is said to be installed in more than 50 million mobile phones (as per StatCounter) in India and if proved, Alibaba's mobile app will get banned.

Currently, it is being investigated by the Hyderabad unit of the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), which falls under the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MEITY) Union Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY).

Earlier in the month, the Indian government asked top 21 smartphone brands, most of them Chinese, to send the details of their infrastructure and processes they follow to ensure the security of the devices.

India's increasing scrutiny of Chinese-origin companies comes amidst the two-month (and continuing) Doklam stand-off wherein China is accused of trying to build roads near the Doka La pass and encroach Bhutan area, which is guarded by the Indian army.

After making rhetoric remarks against India through media, China seems to have mellowed down its approach after Japan sided with India and other developed countries chose to remain neutral and asked the sparing countries to curb the military standoff through dialogue.

Having said that, the Indian government's plan to send notices to mobile-makers and application developers is a move to improve country's cyber security and also to thwart hacking and ransomware attack, as the country's internet using population is increasing.

Why Doklam standoff is China’s gross miscalculation

Yhe state of Chinese economy, under the authoritarian Communist regime, is not as sound as Beijing’s propaganda machinery loudly proclaim while drawing comparisons with India. Misra writes that Xi has invested much on consolidating his political power than on economic reform. His anti-corruption movement targeted at opponents has “fostered fear and riven the party into several faction.”

An armed conflict with India at this point of time would lead to a slowdown of not only the Indian but Chinese economy. Being a democracy, India is in a better position to survive through the jolt of slowdown, unlike authoritarian China. Misra says, “China requires rising prosperity to justify the draconian curbs on individual freedoms, allowing growth to slow is a risk which Xi has been unwilling to take.”

China’s war-like posture against India may also “propel other powers such as the US, Japan and India to unite against it,” he adds

Just an explanation and clamp down on leakage of sensitive user data by these Chinese companies is not enough. We need to ban all Chinese mobile phone companies and encourage 'make in India' by our very own companies instead.

In other words, we need to kick the fukin Chinese out. But the moot question is, will we ever consider doing it, seeing that most have tie-ups with Indian investors?

I thought, we already established without any doubt that the Flying Kick was delivered by an Indian and it was the chink who got kicked down...also the Indian side was on left as shown by some excellent image/map analysis......this was posted , just two pages back in the same posting......

Sorry, the image analysis hasn't established anything in my opinion. The motorable road built by the Chinese is on the left, also their position (right vs left) would depend at which point in their patrol the altercation began and what approach they used to get to the area. The uniforms and body language of our troops is pretty clear to me, they are on the right.

Anyway, both sides got in a few decent blows but I feel we came out on top just by standing up to China. We were always the underdogs here and this conflict has proven that we have more balls than most bigger countries.
