Cryptographic key used to sign one of Facebook's Android apps compromised

Ryne Hager

The security of Android app updates hinges on the secrecy of a given app's signing key.

Jordan Palmer

When it comes to accessibility on Android, Google's Voice Access is one of the hallmark options to make it easier to use your phone.
