76 popular iPhone apps found wide open to data interception attacks

New research has discovered scores of buggy iOS apps that do a lousy job of securing users information. Security researcher Will Strafach says that he was able to identify 76 popular apps in the official App Store that failed to make use of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. These apps, some of which can leak usernames and passwords, geolocation data and even keystrokes, have received a combined total of more than 18 million downloads. The onus rests solely on app developers themselves to ensure their apps are not vulnerable.”]
