Apple is cleaning up its iTunes App Store again for the third time in two months following another flood of iOS apps that secretly collect users’ personal information. The malicious apps were developed using a third-party software development kit (SDK) provided by Youmi, a Chinese advertising company. The app developers who programmed those iOS applications aren’t even aware of the fact that their apps are mining users’ data. Apple’s App Store review process wasn’t able to catch this malicious activity until being alerted by a third party.
