Companies warned of major security flaw in Google Play apps

University researchers say developers often store authentication keys in Android apps on Google Play. The keys are used in making secure connections between apps and servers they communicate with. If criminals get the keys, they could decrypt information the app stores on a remote server. Google has been notified of the problem, but has not responded to a request for comment.
