Android AI apps are leaking sensitive Google Cloud secrets—and most users have no idea.

In this episode of CyberGuardians, we break down a recent investigation showing that a large number of AI-powered Android apps are hardcoding API keys, project IDs, and cloud credentials directly into their apps. Once extracted, attackers can access cloud databases, storage buckets, and backend services tied to these apps.

We explain:

• What hardcoded secrets are

• Why Android apps are easy to reverse-engineer

• How attackers exploit leaked Google Cloud keys

• What this means for user data and privacy

• Why this problem is widespread and preventable

This isn’t a sophisticated hack. It’s a basic security failure—and it’s already being exploited.

If you use AI apps on Android, or build them, this episode matters.
