Described systems and methods allow a mobile device, such as a smartphone or a tablet computer, to protect a user of the respective device from fraud and/or loss of privacy. In some embodiments, the mobile device receives from a server a risk indicator indicative of whether executing a target application causes a privacy risk. Determining the risk indicator includes automatically supplying a test input to a data field used by the target application, the data field configured to hold a private item such as a password or a geolocation indicator. Determining the risk indicator further comprises determining whether a test device executing an instance of the target application transmits an indicator of the test input, such as the test input itself or a hash of the test input, to another party on the network.
