An Android app to make it easier to find Wi-Fi hotspots also exposed more than 2 million Wi-Fi network passwords
An Android app by the name of WiFi Finder, installed by more than 100,000 Google Play users, has leaked in excess of 2 million Wi-Fi network passwords. Although the app is designed to locate and connect to public Wi-Fi hotspots close to the user, it also has a community feature that enables users to share the hotspots they find with others. This is where the security and privacy problems start.
