EU Citizen Brexit App hack
I believe the FT reported that a Norwegian security company stated there were vulnerabilities in the App used by EU citizens to apply for settled status, and that there personal data might be open to theft. It seems that might not be entirely accurate. It appears this is only the case when the phone itself has been compromised and if it has then data from any application could be open to theft. So if anyone is using the app best make sure virus checking is up-to-date and has been run before using app, and be cautious if using borrowed phone. Note only the Android version was tested. Also, I don't know which UK companies were involved in testing the app so might have an interest in this 🙂https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/11/14/home_office_brexit_app_hack_claims/
