Most of these young stars or internet user always go for it when its free, but have you ever considered what makes it free, have ever ponder on the reasons why someone have to sit down for some hours(even days or months) designing software that wont earn them nothing.

Some guys arouse an alarm notice to free users about how exposed their personal information may be. The free text messaging app on your phone can be used to steal your personal information. Sounding this warning, hackers and cyber security professionals have claimed that internet companies can access a mobile user's chat logs and phone data, including location, contacts, mail and much more, through some of these free texting apps.

To prove their point, a team of young hackers demonstrated on Sunday how text messages sent through a Chinese free texting app can be decrypted. They said foreign governments could also be using this method to access data for surveillance or spying.
