> "Apps were automatically taking screenshots of themselves and sending them to third parties. In one case, the app took video of the screen activity and sent that information to a third party.”

> Out of over 17,000 Android apps examined, more than 9,000 had potential permissions to take screenshots. And a number of apps were found to actively be doing so, taking screenshots and sending them to third-party sources.

Which permission is that, and how do you detect which apps are doing that and stop them?

As far as permissions go, phones should have a log for when the permissions are actually used and how often.
