More than 100 million Android devices are vulnerable to identity theft and phishing attacks as a result of a recently discovered flaw in a phone call management app called Truecaller.

On Monday, security researchers at Cheetah Mobile published a blog post in which they discuss how the bug allows bad actors to steal users' personal information, which could open the door to subsequent attacks against the platform's users.

Truecaller is a service available for Android, iOS, and Symbian devices as well as Blackberry phones. It enables users to search for phone numbers, block incoming calls/text messages from spammers and telemarketers, as well as connect with friends.
