    Consumer Mac applications collected browser data

    Researchers reported that several Trend Micro consumer applications for macOS collected browser history and other information, including passwords, and uploaded it for analysis. Apple removed the affected applications from its Mac App Store. Trend Micro acknowledged the collection and apologized, attributing it to shared code libraries and disclosure language in its end-user agreements.
