Hundreds of Android and iOS apps are still vulnerable to a dangerous attack that can compromise encrypted data. The attack is called FREAK, short for Factoring attack on RSA-EXPORT Keys. The apps have not yet been patched against the FREAK attack, which was revealed by researchers on March 3. Apple and Google have patched their mobile operating systems, but many apps compatible with those devices must be upgraded. The findings highlight how even some of the most publicized and severe flaws can take quite a bit of time to get fixed.”]
