Fake Flappy Bird App Planted by Hackers to Steal Photos from Device

Hackers may have used a cloned Flappy Bird app to steal and collect nude photos of female celebrities from their Android devices. The group may have been stealing and trading nude and very personal photos of more than 100 female celebrities for more than two years, gathered on the “stolen” forum on image board AnonIB. The developer of fake Flappy Birds app took advantage of the user’s “carelessness” of granting the permissions to Android apps. He asked for financial support from his fellow anons in order to make a second Google Play developer account.
