What happened
Applebee's restaurant chain left a database password inside its Android app, which could let people reach customers' personal details. Applebee's has since fixed the problem, and its parent company says it has found no evidence that anyone misused the data. Be careful with unexpected messages that mention Applebee's, as scammers could use the exposed details to seem convincing.
