A mobile application exploiting the so-called Certifi-gate vulnerability has been removed from the Google Play store. The vulnerability lies in a number of third-party remote support tools that are preinstalled on Android devices by manufacturers and/or carriers. LG devices are most at risk, along with Samsung and HTC; 16 percent of devices responding to scans show they host vulnerable plugins. The number of downloads of Recordable Activator, a screen recorder app for Android devices, hovers between 100,000 and a half-million.
