Anti-Government Hackers Hit Jay-Z's Android App

Posted by timothy on from the maybe-they-just-like-jay-z-at-ft.-meade dept.

judgecorp writes "Jay-Z's Android app has been hit by hackers who created a clone of the software. The app was supposed to deliver a copy of the rapper's single and provide footage and other goodies. The rogue app is a ringer for the real one, but has a time-based trigger to deliver anti-Government propaganda on 4 July. The app, and its service name NSAListener, appears to suggest be a protest against U.S. surveillance."

    No, you choose to use Apple so that you can post "And this is why I choose to use Apple" all around the interwebs.
