Hardcoded god-mode code found in RSA 2016 badge-scanning app

Meh

It's not a public app and it doesn't hold public data...

> Vendors of the San Francisco mega-conference expo hall were handed Android Samsung Galaxy S4 phones, locked into kiosk mode

So the hardware is provided to those who rented a stand at the show. With it, they scan the badges of attendees who stop by said stand, and at the end of the day or conference, the organizers send them a list of those visitor's details.

So the only data on the phone is a list of badge numbers which are sent to the organizers?

And this is insecure? Meh.
