Mixed feelings about this article. In short, it presents a new way of fingerprinting devices.

While it's an interesting fingerprinting strategy, this is just one of many ways that a device can be fingerprinted. Do your best to avoid installing applications you don't trust to protect your privacy.

Also, the recommendations of the article don't make much sense. Anti malware on Android? Ridiculous and ineffective.
