Facebook-Owned Security App Caught Snooping on iPhones

Apple officials confronted Facebook last week for violating the company’s regulations about apps collecting user data. The app owned by Facebook, Onavo Protect, was acquired when they bought the Israeli security app developer Onavo in 2013. It provides a VPN (virtual private network), a technology that is supposed to provide privacy protection while browsing and downloading apps. Instead of providing privacy, the app was collecting lists of apps that users had installed on their phone, learning how they were being used, and sending the information to Facebook.
