Runkeeper fitness app is blaming a bug for transferring personal data to a third party even when it was not in use.

While the bug has been fixed, the NCC wants the third party to delete all the information it collected illegally. Proofpoint is an international leader in advanced cybersecurity solutions. Dave Jevans, VP of Mobile Security at Proofpoint joins Robbie and Jeff to discuss the state of the Android and iOS marketplaces and how malicious code is finding its way into even seemingly legitimate applications.
