CYBER SPYING--Flashlight App

Beware of apps for smart phones - particularly Flashlight, though others may be as dodgy ...

 

 

Watch and learnand thats just ONE app we now know about---there are thousands of apps out there that may do the same or worse

I'm amazed that people aren't already savvy to the fact that many apps, especially free game apps want way too many privileges on their phones. Thanks for posting BG..

My flashlight app is the one pre loaded on the system and can't be removed anyway.
