Sega investigating claims Android Sonic games are leaking data
Sega has said it is looking into claims that a trio of its Sonic games for Android are leaking personal data.
Security company Pradeo said late last week that it had discovered the Android games -- Sonic Dash, Sonic the Hedgehog Classic, and Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom -- were leaking user location data and device info. Based on the download ranges offered by the Play Store, collectively the leaks could impact between 120 million and 600 million users.
Among the tracking and advertising issues, the security firm also said it found two issues that could result in man-in-the-middle attacks, and a bagful of others that could potentially lead to encryption weakness and denial of service.
