While their stated intent was to provide schedules, breaking news, results of games, medal tallies, and insights into events, under the hood, many such apps were found to not only track users but also extract private data and share it with advertisers. These apps collected user data, including internet browsing history, and without consent, shared it with third-party advertisers. This resulted in <\/span><span style=\"color: var(--color-default); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align);\">cybersecurity fraud<\/span><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">, as people were bombarded with advertisements. Many of these apps also asked for multiple elevated permissions, allowing them to tap into personal and confidential information on the users&#8217; devices.
