Netflix, Foursquare Apps Put User Data at Risk

According to the Wall Street Journal, Android apps for Netflix, Foursquare, LinkedIn and others do not encrypt your personal data. Real nice guys, real nice.

The Android applications of LinkedIn, Netflix and Foursquare stored user names and passwords in unencrypted form on their Google-powered devices. Storing that data in plain text violates a commonly accepted best practice in computer security.
