iOS user: That’s a shame.

But seriously, this sucks and is why Google needs more rigorous vetting of apps that go into the store. Sure, you sideload, that’s your problem. But if on the Play Store, the general Android user would think there’s some good level of governance.

Of course there’s a measure of caveat emptor here. So hopefully it’ll teach people to be wary of what information they freely give out.

LOL, well I guess the Reddit masses are on Lemmy full swing now. Enjoy the malware, I’ll continue laughing about it.
