From Daily Mail:
The program can collect anything a user types or has typed in the past including credit card details – leading to fears that users’ confidential information is at risk.
Before users download the app they are warned; ‘Full access allows the developer of this keyboard to transmit anything you type, including things you have previously typed with this keyboard.
‘This could include sensitive information like your credit card number or street address.’
But, that didn’t stop millions of fans of Kim Kardashian. The app is so popular it crashed Apple’s App Store on Monday.
