Parental control apps are meant to help keep your child safe on their devices, but that has backfired in a big way with one popular Android parental control app.
SEC Consult Group identified numerous security flaws in a parental control app called Kids Place, allowing malicious actors to access private information such as login credentials, send files to a child's device without parental knowledge, or install malware onto the system. These individuals could even remove all restrictions set on the device and bypass any settings established by the parent.
