Some Blu phones are still shipping with spyware that sends private info to China

If you've ever browsed through Amazon's smartphones section, there's no doubt you've seen the huge amount of Blu devices available there. And there's a fairly good reason for that: the U.S. phone maker's devices are dirt-cheap, a feature which has consistently skyrocketed them into the best-selling charts on the retailer's website. And all was good and well until late last year, when researchers a Kryptowire discovered that some of the company's most popular devices came pre-loaded with spyware which transmitted private data to Chinese servers.
