Starbucks plans to secure user information with updated iOS app
1/16/2014 7:27:00 PM
Following this week's revelation that Starbucks' mobile apps store data such as user names, passwords and even location coordinates in plain text, a company executive announced today that a refreshed application is in the works. Curt Garner, the beverage giant's chief information officer, says that the new iOS app will "add extra layers of protection" to the "added measures" that he claims already "sufficiently address the concerns" referenced in yesterday's post. Garner also emphasizes that no information has been compromised using the methods outlined this week. There's no firm timeline for the updated iOS app, but the company reiterated that the current version offers sufficient protection -- and we imagine they'll be sticking to that story right up until a fix is available.
