Everyone who rides the subway to work or school every day knows that we’ve reached a crisis point. You wait on a dangerously overcrowded platform as packed train after packed train passes you by. And when you finally get on, you’re crushed. Toronto commuters need relief, now. 1/4
We have the tools available to accelerate the Relief Line and get shovels in the ground — subway riders need relief, not reports. 2/4
People expect their Mayor to deliver, and our current leadership hasn’t gotten the job done. John Tory says the Relief Line subway is his top priority, but in four years it’s already fallen 18 months behind schedule. And his other transit plans are coming off the rails, too. 3/4

1/ In this request, the @narendramodi's #Android #application sends silently and without the user's consent, his IP address and a unique identifier of his phone.
This personal data is sent to the website api.narendramodi.in which is located in the US.
2/ As the application is available in Europe, it must comply with the European regulation called #GDPR. Since an IP address is considered as a personal data, the user must give his consent and must be able to opt out from this data collection.
3/ The @narendramodi's #Android #application does not meet these requirements and so is breaking this European regulation.

When you create a profile in the official @narendramodi #Android app, all your device info (OS, network type, Carrier …) and personal data (email, photo, gender, name, …) are send without your consent to a third-party domain called in.wzrkt.com.
This domain is classified as a phishing link by the company G-Data. This website is hosted by @GoDaddy and the whois info are hidden.
After a quick search, this domain belongs to an American company called @CleverTap. According to their description, “#CleverTap is the next generation app engagement platform. It enables marketers to identify, engage and retain users and provides developers"

The @KhoslaLabs and @UIDAI developers don't know how to generate a #android app certificate correctly 🤦‍♂️

They keep the default owner and issuer: Google. This is funny, technically, Google is the owner and issuer of #Aadhaar 😂😬🤦‍♂️
As stated by the official documentation, developer.android.com/studio/publish…
"A public-key certificate, also known as a digital certificate or an identity certificate, contains the public key of a public/private key pair, as well as some other metadata identifying the owner of the key"
Moreover, "Every app must use the same certificate throughout its lifespan"
So, @KhoslaLabs and @UIDAI cannot change it. They need to reupload another app with a different package name if they really want to change it.

Hi @edawerd,

Few years ago you published 2 #android apps on the #playstore:
- No Root Screenshot It
- Screenshot It

FYI, the native library you coded had been used by #NorthKorea in an app called RedFlag aka Digital Signature Manipulation System

#KCC
cc @GustoHQ @willscott
The modified version of your library can be found here: github.com/fs0c131y/RedFl…

By checking the two versions, we can see they only modified few bytes of your lib. In fact, they only changed the "SCREEN_SHOT_IT_PACKAGE".
By the way, the software at lindylabs.com/screenshot_it to "enable" the app is no more available. So, please update your app or remove it from the store.

I'm staying at your disposal if you have any questions

<Thread> CM Browser is a very popular application (50M - 100M downloads) published by @CheetahMobile.
In the description it said "#1 antivirus engine (rated by AV-TEST)" which is a lie. The AV-TEST best android security 2016 award had been given to @Bitdefender and @Sophos.
Security Master is in their best antivirus for #Android list but it's not the same app and not #1: av-test.org/en/antivirus/m…
