Delete All These iPhone Apps or Risk Having Your Data Stolen

Following a recent security breach, Apple has removed over 300 apps from the iTunes store after discovering that the software was collecting users' e-mail addresses and device serial numbers, MyFox Boston reports.

All of the apps were made in China, and they allowed an advertising company, Youmi, to display ads in the app — but the company was also secretly collecting personal information. Although Apple removed all of these apps, they hope to restore them soon with a new developer. But just to be on the safe side, you should uninstall any of the below apps if they're still on your phone.
