“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

As someone familiar with the computer science field and app development, this is a lot of FUD. Google Play or the iTunes store wouldn’t let this sort of app be uploaded, and if they found one they’d take it down immediately – one with trojans definitely wouldn’t get past their filters. If you jailbreak your phone or install an .apk from a 3rd party website, then maybe – but this is in no way bigger than Ebola.
Thanks for the warning. Yikes. I am glad I use the less vulnerable iPhone.

Scare stories often take flight like this and unprovable claims of security risks can be traced back to software security and virus protection companies. These companies are selling something.
I’m not saying risks don’t exist, they do. Everyone needs to be more careful with technology and their digital information.
