  11. ---Description---
  12. Seesaw Family, the popular education app installed more than 1 million, stores username and password in Logcat. So, hackers can obtain the username and password of the app, simply looking at Logcat. Especially, in old Android versions prior to Android Jelly Bean, any app installed can access Logcat without any permission.
