According to a new report from Secureworks, endpoint attack vectors that include email, popular operating systems, and apps are on the rise.

In response to attacks by way of Android apps, Google has removed thousands of nefarious apps that had the capability to launch malware enabling developers to launch a wide array of attacks including Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, Man-in-the-Middle (MitM), and Ransomware attacks.

And now that "democratic" governments want to scan our chat messages and more like the population are all criminals by default, expect such attacks to be even more frequent and official... all hail the puritanical world order.

I think we need to be more precise with statements such as "support intrusive apps".

This is true in case where those apps are preinstalled by vendor with no possibility to remove. Also the whole GMS case.

The fact that it's nearly impossible to buy phone without built-in telemetry scares me.

Just keep in mind that community based #lineageos and #DivestOS are Android but doesn't include or support this crap.

Thank you for effort you put into mobile Linux development!
