‘The Interview’ is top-selling movie on Google Play and YouTube

Moving on to more The Interview-related news. Sony seems to have made the right choice of distributing the film online. And Google is reaping some of the rewards. The movie has turned into the top-seller on both Google Play and YouTube. They won’t reveal specific figures but we know that Sony has already made US$15 million in revenue from the sale and rental of the movie. This should increase since Apple made the movie available on their platform as well. It has been getting bad reviews from the critics but the hype surrounding the controversial movie has gotten moviegoers curious about it.

Fake ‘The Interview’ Android app steals bank account details

Looks like more hackers are getting in on The Interview’s controversial tale. A new fake app making rounds in South Korea promises to download a copy of the movie for you. Instead, it steals your bank account details. McAfee security researcher Graham Cluley said in a blog post that the app is an Android Trojan they identified as Android/Badaccents which targets several Korean banks and one international bank (Citibank). And interestingly enough, it is designed to not target North Korean users. This story is just a reminder to stop downloading everything you see online until you can verify that it is from a legitimate source.
