These Apple Apps Could Be Stealing Data From Your Phone

Following a recent security breach, Apple has removed over 300 apps from the iTunes store this week. Apple discovered that the software was collecting users' e-mail addresses and device serial numbers, MyFox Boston reports.

All of the apps were made in China, and they allowed an advertising company, Youmi, to display ads in the app. The bad part is Youmi were also secretly collecting personal information. Apple removed all of these apps, but they are hoping to restore them soon with a new developer. To be on the safe side, you should really uninstall any of the below apps if you've got them on your phone.
