Apps dedicated to children that ran on Android devices stole data.


According to the experts from TechCrunch, Google has removed three well-known applications with more than 20 million downloads from the Google Play Store - Princess Salon, Number Coloring Cats & Cosplay.
Google has removed these applications after analyzing a report compiled by the IDAC organization.


Apps collected Android ID data and personalized advertising identification (AAID) data.
According to the portal dobreprogramy, when information from Android ID and AAID are processed simultaneously, Google’s security mechanisms can be bypassed.
