Excuse me? McDonald's app considers itself security critical now?
- jmnicolas 5y agoProbably because you can pay your meals with it.
- HelixEndeavor 5y agoAnything that deals with your financial information usually has security.

- marcellus23 5y agoI mean, you put your credit card into it, so yeah?
- grishka 5y agoYou also put your credit card into your web browser, and it can even store your cards (without the cvc) to autofill them for you.
- kevingadd 5y agoYes, and this is a massive security vulnerability
- bee_rider 5y agoThe web browser is almost certainly security critical -- although maybe it is treated as a special exception because of user expectations.
- grishka 5y agoYes, but somehow, web browsers never check for "device integrity", and websites just blindly trust that the browser, or whatever it is on the other end, would do whatever it's told. They don't even have a reliable way of telling what kind of device or OS the user is accessing the website from. And everyone seems to be fine with that. And that's how it should be with apps, too. And people need to be educated to never, ever be so trustful. You lost your savings to a scammer? Well, you'll be more diligent next time.
