Alert! 14 apps on Google Play Store leaked users’ data; Check names
The Google Play Store is home to millions of apps that are available for free, or for a small fee, and allows Android smartphone users to make the most of their devices. However, sometimes these Android apps can cause big problems for users as they leak personal information online. Unlike the case of malware, these apps are simply misconfigured, which means that the developers can fix these issues. However, until they do so, using these apps can have a very negative impact on users.
According to a report by CyberNews, 14 Android apps from the Play Store have been leaking user data due to a Firebase misconfiguration, which has been resulting in private information being leaked online.
