      > The app ranks as the third-most downloaded news app in the Apple App Store as of Friday.

      I was going to snarkily say, „who downloads this shit?“ until I read this.

      I forgot how stupid the basic American is.

      > A researcher shared screenshots with NOTUS showing that Elfsight — a third-party, Russia-founded software kit company that provides premade widgets for the app — makes public the personal information of some White House staffers through the app, as of Thursday.

      They duct-taped together some widgets made by a Russian software company and released it to the American public as an official US government app.

      Would this entirely valid sentence be written under any other POTUS?

      Honestly, I have difficulty feeling sympathy for anyone willing to trust this administration with technology, or pretty much anything else.

      If you download that thing for anything other than white hat testing you are a sucker of the first degree.

      Not „cyber security vulnerabilities“ so much as deliberately and deceptively included surveillance functionalities.

      There was a post on this very sub, I believe (that mods took down), where a user shared contents of the app on iOS where the functionalities reported to users (e.g. no location tracking) directly contradicted what the app was actually doing.

      But, let’s be honest, the only people putting this garbage on their phone are exactly the people who want to taste the entire boot, heel to toe, at the same time.

      people trust gov apps more than the random ones, but the truth is they’re built the same way and have more chances of stealing your data

      Good thing their budget for the military spending increase cuts cybersecurity funds

      Do NOT download that app. And whatever you do, do NOT give these criminal psychopaths your information. No.

      Kinda wild how government apps still skip basic stuff like certificate pinning and secure API calls. The real problem is most federal tech projects get outsourced to the lowest bidder, so you end up with a patchwork of old libraries and rushed code nobody maintains properly.
