• NSA, GCHQ scour Angry Birds, phone apps for compromising info on users!

  The US National Security Agency and its UK counterpart, GCHQ, have the ability to harvest sensitive personal data from phone apps that transmit users’ data across the web, such as the extremely popular Angry Birds game.

  Along with obtaining information about the specific dimensions  and model of an individual’s iPhone or Android, the intelligence  agencies are also able to acquire details on that person’s age,  gender, and location. Details about a user’s political  affiliation, sexual orientation, and how promiscuous they are may  also be vulnerable.
  –
  This information – which was revealed in dozens of top secret  documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden – was  first reported Monday by the Guardian in partnership with the New  York Times and ProPublica.

  Both the NSA and GCHQ are able to “piggyback” on third party  advertisements that a user unwittingly brings onto their device  when they first download an app. Those ads, along with  geolocation information embedded in images a user uploads to a  social media site like Facebook and Twitter, essentially  pinpoints where an individual is in the world.
