Security concerns with the usage of a smartphone mail app

10/02/2015

Due to current security concerns in the use of the Outlook App on iOS and Android we would like to ask you to not use this application anymore.

 

The reason for this is that data is routed through a third party server, which leads to the end-user giving up control of their user information as well as their mails etc.

The Microsoft Outlook App has the following identifiers

  • ID in Google Play Store for Android: com.microsoft.office.outlook
  • ID in App Store for iOS: id951937596
