In a recentreport by ZDNetwe learned thatTrapster, every speed demon’s favorite iPhone app was hacked today. Trapster’s 10 million plus users received the following e-mail notifying them of the attack.
Trapster recently madeour list of 2010’s best travel apps, because the highly rated app alerts you as you approach speed traps, red lights, speed cameras, police check points, accidents and other roadway hazards. It operates like a social network, similar toWaze, reporting information from over 10 million users.
With over 10 million user passwords likely compromised, it may no longer be every road demon’s favorite app for much longer. We suggest you check outWazeif you’re really worried about future Trapster use.
