Thousands of Android phones sent data to Chinese servers
Thousands of Android smartphones sold via major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy in the US have been sending user data to Chinese servers, a security firm has claimed.

The company said the firmware was meant for a Chinese manufacturer but was mistakenly pushed to other smartphones. Smartphone brand Blu, whose popular R1 HD smartphone is affected is among those affected, has pushed an update that will apparently fix the ‘potential security issue’.
