Sensitive access tokens and keys found in hundreds of Android apps

Security firm Fallible found about 2,500 Android apps with secret access keys hard-coded into them. Credentials include access keys for services like Slack, Twitter, Dropbox, Flickr, Instagram, or Amazon Web Services. A single leaked key can lead to a massive data breach if it is used to access to sensitive data or systems that can be abused.
