According to Security firm viaForensics many popular iPhone and Android apps have major security flaws in the way they store user data. You can look at their listing at viaforensics.com/appwatchdog/.

Browsing through the listings on 6/11/2011, the two worst one's we could find are listed. According to viaForensics, they both store unencrypted password data.

  1. Android Mail (Exchange) - The password is stored without encryption on the device.

  2. Android Mail (Hotmail) - The password is stored without encryption on the device.
