Flaw in popular mobile apps exposes users to identity theft - storing passwords in plain text files
Storing passwords in plain text files??
You would think it would be very obvious that this a very bad idea, right?.
But NO! ..Facebook, LinkedIn, Dropbox (again?) and others thinks this is a great idea...
well at least until Security researcher Gareth Wright revealed how they handle security in their iPhone Apps (and most likely Android too he says).
Again this makes you think...when such a fundamental security rule is broken, which other are broken too?
Outsourcing anyone?
