Hi, I have been sitting on this information for many month now but I haven't done anything about it because i haven't cared about it and maybe you don't care either. If you own a Android phone which is rooted you always should download apps with caution and this is a very good example of that.

 

If you now is one of the 100K-500K that have bought the GTA:SA on Android and have signed in on Social club, I recommend that you immediately sign out of Social club or uninstall the app. (Menu > Game > "Sign out of Social club" > type some random email and password and press sign in so the information disappears or uninstall the app)

 

When you are signing in to Social club they will save your information (email and password) in plain text on the apps "shared preferences" even if you don't check the "Remember details" box. And you have a app that have root permission they can very easily extract the information and email it to themselves (That doesn't take a lot of code to do that).


 

Path to the shared preferences: /data/data/com.rockstar.gtasa/prefs.xml

There are enough apps that can do this. but it's the risk you take when you have a rooted device.
