While all eyes are on the UK government’s backdoor demands, our latest Cybernews research exposes an even bigger risk – iOS apps are leaking sensitive data at scale, and Apple isn’t stopping it.
Last week, the Cybernews research team revealed that 71% of 156,000 iOS apps are leaking hardcoded secrets – a serious security flaw with major implications for businesses and consumers.
This is the first research of its kind at this scale – no one has ever published even approximate findings on Apple’s secret leaks before.
These findings raise a bigger question: is Apple’s App Store security review failing to catch these weak spots? Your follow-up could explore whether Apple’s vetting process is truly effective – or if developers are prioritizing speed over security.
With stolen credentials linked to 31% of all breaches and an increasing reliance on mobile devices for sensitive transactions, this is a problem that app users and developers must address.
