Google announced two new quality requirements for Android applications to address the industry memory chip shortage triggered by the AI data center boom. One focus is on reducing in-app memory usage and optimizing code. Google stated that the mobile industry is facing significant hardware supply constraints, which are changing the availability of device memory and, in turn, affecting user experience.To this end, Google has set new performance thresholds in areas such as dynamic memory usage and bitmap usage, and has increased code optimization requirements to prevent app stuttering and crashes. The company will launch new tools to alert developers to optimize when applications exceed the thresholds. More diagnostic tools will be released later this year, including a Memory Limiter feature that prevents applications from excessively occupying device memory.Developers must meet the new thresholds by February 2027. Additionally, all Play Store applications must comply with the Zero Tap Sign-In requirement by April 2027, which automatically restores user login status during device migration via the Android Restore Credentials API. These changes aim to help app and game developers continue to provide high-quality experiences in a market with limited memory supply, especially targeting price-sensitive low-end devices.

Aave began opening its iOS mobile application to early users on Wednesday, pushing its consumer savings product into early access, while Android and Web users still need to wait on the waiting list. Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that the Ghost Pass allows users to invite friends to skip the waiting list.The app is positioned as a savings application, supporting bank account and stablecoin deposits, allowing users to connect bank accounts and debit cards, with stablecoin wallets supporting deposits and withdrawals on Arbitrum. Funds deposited generate returns through the public lending market, with assets supplied to the lending pool, and the interest paid by borrowers flowing to depositors. Aave Labs stated in July that there were about 50,000 registered users on the iOS waiting list.Aave describes the app as self-custodial, although it has login and recovery features similar to fintech applications. The app's terms state that the embedded wallet generates and stores private keys locally, and Aave Labs does not hold user assets or keys, managing wallet setup and gas through smart account abstraction. This release is part of Aave's initiative to expand retail distribution following the acquisition of Stable Finance in October 2025, with Stable Vaults now providing a savings layer for the Aave app and open to fintech companies seeking embedded stablecoin yields.

According to The Block, Ledger's security research team Donjon has discovered a vulnerability in the secure boot chain of MediaTek processors, allowing attackers to extract encryption keys via USB connection before the operating system loads, provided they have physical access to the phone. This could enable them to decrypt device storage and obtain the device PIN code and encrypted wallet mnemonic within approximately 45 seconds.In proof-of-concept tests, the vulnerability successfully extracted sensitive data from wallet applications such as Trust Wallet, Kraken Wallet, and Phantom. Researchers indicate that this vulnerability may affect about 25% of Android phones, involving models that use MediaTek chips and Trustonic's Trusted Execution Environment. Ledger's Chief Technology Officer Charles Guillemet stated that smartphones were never designed to be vaults. Although the vulnerability can be patched, it highlights the inherent risks of storing keys on non-secure devices, and users are advised to update security patches as soon as possible.According to data from TRM Labs, over 80% of the $2.1 billion in stolen crypto assets in the first half of 2025 stemmed from infrastructure attacks such as private key theft, mnemonic theft, and front-end hijacking. Chainalysis data shows that losses from crypto asset theft exceeded $3.41 billion in 2024, with the proportion of stolen personal wallets rising from 7.3% in 2022 to 44% in 2024.

According to PR Newswire, Solana Mobile has announced the launch of the modular integration solution Solana Mobile Stack for Android hardware manufacturers, helping OEMs achieve hardware-level differentiation and transforming devices into hardware-level digital asset platforms.The Solana Mobile Stack supports the storage of stablecoins and digital assets through Seed Vault, and enables fast peer-to-peer or cross-border transfers via Seeker Wallet, directly integrating with ecosystems like Visa, Stripe, and PayPal. It supports staking, trading, and accessing applications through the Solana dApp Store, allowing Android hardware manufacturers to participate in revenue sharing for each transaction.

GoPlus Security warns users to be cautious of a new type of Android malware called PromptSpy. This malware lures users into downloading APK files through phishing websites (such as those disguised as bank websites) and can remotely control devices after obtaining accessibility permissions.What makes PromptSpy unique is its use of the Google Gemini API to analyze the device interface and develop attack strategies, allowing it to better adapt to different phone brands and system versions, thereby increasing the stealth and success rate of the attacks.

The Donjon research team at Ledger demonstrated that electromagnetic fault injection (EMFI) can completely compromise a commonly used MediaTek smartphone chip, which is utilized in many Android phone models. The issue requires attackers to have physical access to the device, but it highlights the risks faced by users storing private keys on smartphones.Ledger stated that its team studied the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (MT6878) chip produced by TSMC. Researchers used EMFI tools to disrupt the chip's boot read-only memory (boot ROM), successfully bypassing core security checks and gaining full control of the chip, allowing it to run arbitrary code at the highest privilege level (EL3). Ledger emphasized that this finding does not affect Ledger hardware wallets.Ledger disclosed this vulnerability to MediaTek in May. MediaTek responded that EMFI attacks are beyond the security scope of the MT6878 chip, which is designed for consumer products rather than financial or hardware security module applications. Additionally, MediaTek stated that devices with higher security requirements, such as cryptographic hardware wallets, should include specialized defensive measures.At the time of the report's release, physical attack incidents targeting cryptocurrency users were on the rise.

Security researchers have discovered that the North Korean hacker group KONNI has developed a new type of attack method, utilizing Google's Find Hub asset tracking feature for the first time to carry out remote data wipe attacks on Android devices.The attackers disguised themselves as psychological counselors
