The report revealed that 43% of respondents were concerned that the app would give cybercriminals an opportunity to run manipulative phishing campaigns that was too good to pass up, while a further 33% of respondents feared the government might use the app to track their whereabouts, and slightly more than that – 36% – were worried that the app might be used to collect data on them.
