Users of smartphone apps and mobile games such as Angry Birds are reportedly leaving their personal information open to secret harvesting by government spies.

The latest disclosure, from documents acquired by the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, suggests officials from the National Security Agency and its UK counterpart GCHQ have developed methods to mine and collect personal details such as age, gender and location. In some cases the documents can even record political views and sexual orientation.

Well they must be very busy.
