Bitcoin Android apps

Is Apple now allowing bitcoin apps?

According to one bitcoin investor, Apple has updated the terms of service for its app store, now permitting developers to offer apps that transmit virtual currencies.

Silicon Valley investor Bill Lee pointed out Monday after WWDC 2014 that the company has updated its terms to read:

1.17 Apps may facilitate transmission of approved virtual currencies provided that they do so in compliance with all state and federal laws for the territories in which the app functions

APPLE ALLOWS #bitcoin please check section 11.17 of developer guidelines —

Apple did not immediately reply to a question for comment.

If the report is true, it could signify an important breakthrough for bitcoin. Apple has so far shown a cold shoulder to the virtual currency, booting the popular Blockchain app from its store in February after doing the same to Coinbase — another mainstream bitcoin service — in November. Meanwhile, such apps are flourishing on Android devices.

The ultimate android RAT

An easy to use new "Remote Administration Tool" malware package for Android offers to infect users, steal their photos and text messages, secretly capture audio or video, record their calls, download their web browser history and steal their email, Facebook and VPN account information.
The practice of selling such a malware package targeting Android is so common it has a pet name among security researchers: an "Android RAT," for Remote Administration Tool.
