(We exist, but are currently focused on serving our existing paying customers, so can’t keep our free services updated in the short term. Rather than having people use data that is now several years old, we removed the free dataset from the website.)

@bjarkeLA @narseo Yes, we made it very clear why on the website: appcensus.io/search We repurposed that infrastructure to better serve our customers. Long term, we would like to rebuild it and continue offering it as a free service. But unfortunately we’re way too busy in the short term.

@edyshor No idea, that’s a question for Google!

@AppCensusInc Hopefully, thats the case. I was wondering, once you reported the spyware SDK to Google, did they include it in the scan they do for all the apps in the app store ? I was wondering how many other apps would have it that you haven't tested.

New blog post: blog.appcensus.io/2022/04/06/the… We discovered a spyware SDK that collects various identifiers, the contents of the clipboard, scans home networks to identify devices, as well as hashes of files on the user’s phone.

@TommyBurazin They definitely were removed a week or so ago. We assume that after they were booted, they were allowed to submit updates that removed the SDK. There was evidence the app devs didn’t know what the SDK did, so forcing them to fix it vs. permanently banning them seems appropriate.

We reported it to Google back in October, and as of now, all apps we identified as containing it have been removed from the Play Store.

It’s being distributed by a Panamanian shell company, Measurement Systems, which appears to be affiliated with a US defense contractor, Vostrom Holdings. Developers are being lied to about what it does, which may induce them to violate various privacy laws.

The Olympics app, My 2022, has been exploiting a weakness in Android 10 and earlier to harvest user' MAC addresses and send them to a server in China called 'bigdata'. A new version of the app has been pushed that ends the practice, per @AppCensusInc blog.appcensus.io/2022/02/04/sid…
