A group of security researchers has successfully discovered a method to hack into six out of seven Smartphone apps, including Gmail across all the three platforms – Android, Windows, and iOS operating systems. The method could allow a hacker to steal a user’s password, social security number, peek at a photo of a check on a banking app, or swipe credit card numbers and other sensitive data. Amazon was by far the hardest to the hack with just a 48 percent success rate, with Amazon being the easiest to hack with a success rate of 92 percent.
