Abstract
A client device may install an application. The client device may also maintain a shared set of contact information separate from the application. If the client device determines that, within a fixed time period, the application has read from the shared set of contact information, but has not written a threshold extent of data to the shared set of contact information, the client device may indicate to at least one of the user interface of client device and a server device that the application is exhibiting anomalous behavior. If the server device receives such indications from at least a threshold number of client devices, the server device may instruct the client device to disable or uninstall the application.
