EngageLab SDK Flaw Exposed 50M Android Users, Including 30M Crypto Wallet Installs
The Hacker News →A security flaw in the EngageLab SDK - a third-party library integrated into Android applications - reportedly exposed roughly 50 million users, with an estimated 30 million of those tied to cryptocurrency wallet installations.
