Abstract
A computer-implemented method for evaluating application trustworthiness may include 1) identify an application subject to a security assessment, 2) identify a secondary identifier used by the application to identify the application to a third-party service to which the application is configured to send a request during execution, 3) query a secondary identity database with the secondary identifier for information about the secondary identifier, and 4) determine whether the application is malicious based at least in part on the information about the secondary identifier. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
