Already pointed at the leakage of personal data leaving China to its smartphones, Blu has to face a new potential threat that led Amazon to cease its sale on its portal.

The brand Blu offers low-cost Android smartphones and takes advantage of the Amazon portal to sell its mobile devices of Chinese origin not always free from problems for data security.

At the end of 2016, a security breach related to a bad implementation of a Chinese provider had been detected, with the possibility to constitute a backdoor and to recover personal data in all discretion. The flaw involved several brands, but the American Blu, because of its visibility in the US market, had been particularly targeted.

The worries have just started again for Blu with the temporary stop of the distribution of its smartphones on the Amazon portal, due to potential security problems related to the embedded applications.

This is a blow to the telephony brand because it had just partnered with the e-commerce giant to specifically promote its smartphones as part of the Amazon Prime service.
