Insecure Apps

Recently Hewlett-Packard conducted a study regarding the security of business apps for the iPhone. HP concluded that many of them give themselves unnecessary permission to access phone features and user data, given the stated purposes of the apps.

HP also found that more than 90% of the business apps had privacy or security flaws and a new report from Trend Micro found that there are now 1 million "malware and high-risk apps" in the wild.
