The extremely popular Popcorn Time movie steaming app and service may have come in for a lot of criticism since it came into existence but today it faces an attack of a more sinister nature. Rather than being the target for anti-piracy companies trying to get it shut down once and for all, it has now come to the attention of security researcher Antonios A. Chariton who says that a fork of the Popcorn Time app is entirely susceptible to a malicious 'man-in-the-middle' attack, that would essentially provide an attacker with entire control over a vulnerable machine.
