Apps made by Indian IT company Appscook have been putting user data at risk, including the personal information of minors.

Research by Cybernews found the company, which has developed 96 school-specific apps, many of which are used across 600 Indian and Sri Lankan schools for education management, including parent communication and student performance, may have missed some vital security issues.
