Ironic the Apple App store allows a "phone antivirus" to exist.
Funnily enough that's given as an example of a prohibited type of app in their review guidelines.
But it's rated 4.4 stars! I'm guessing it hoovers your contacts and tries to get you to sign up for the IAP subscription.
The meta these days is bundling dodgy SDKs which turn the device into a residential proxy, which then gets sold on to the highest bidder. Mostly AI companies, whose desire to scrape literally everything has driven demand for that type of malware into the stratosphere.
I want to thank you dear poster and author, I feel genuinely refreshed reading a short interesting post sans status quo topic.
Waiting for the next part!
