Apple adds keylogger to iOS App Store for targeted advertising: tied to your account and unencrypted
According to cybersecurity researcher Mysk, Apple has recently added a keylogger to the iOS App Store to gather more information on users for advertising purposes. Additionally, this data is sent unencrypted and tied to your user account. While this targeted advertising is - as far as we know - limited to the App Store (for now), it's still not a good look from a company that markets itself a private.
