Being free is no defense: Arxan finds 40% of free iOS, 80% of free Android apps have been hacked

Even making your app free isn’t much of a deterrent for hackers reports security company Arxan Technology.

The company found that over 40 percent of the top 15 most popular free iOS apps and 80 percent of the top 15 most popular free Android apps have been hacked. Unsurprisingly, the issue was even more common when an app was paid — the company reports 92 percent of the 100 most popular paid iOS apps and every single one of the top 100 most popular paid Android apps have been hacked.
