Hello silent readers,
Android app from China executed 0-day exploit on millions of devices was written by Dan Goodin from Ars. I spotted this on Mastodon when Brian Krebs put it out as a Toot and mentioned he’d have to update his reporting of this as it had more information.
As usual, the company didn’t comment for follow up questions, but they denied having anything to do with malicious copies of their apps being removed in the Google Play store which is hard to access from China to begin with.
The perspective of both Brian and Dan on this brings out questions like what China is really up to. If its got this many vulnerabilities that are exploited in their apps, and they were the ones to put the app out, then they should be responsive and give their users a proper experience shoudln’t they?
This is going to get interesting.
